Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.
Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

In context
10 In not much more than a year, you, who are not looking for evil, will be troubled: for the produce of the vine-gardens will be cut off, and there will be no getting in of the grapes.
11 Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.
12 Have sorrow for the fields, the pleasing fields, the fertile vine;
13 And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.
14 For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;
15 Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.
16 Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.
