Isaiah 16:10

Compare all

8 For ^athe fields of Heshbon languish,
And ^bthe vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the ^csea.

9 Therefor¹e I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
^aO Heshbon and Elealeh;
For battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.

10 ^aGladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.

11 Therefore ^amy heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for¹ Kir Heres.

12 And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on ^athe high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.

Barnes' Notes

<< Isaiah 16:9

Isaiah 16:11 >>

Isaiah 16:10

And gladness ... - The gladness and joy that was commonly felt in the field producing a rich and luxuriant harvest.

Out of the plentiful field - Hebrew, ' From Carmel;' but Carmel means a fruitful field as well as the mountain of that name (see the note at Isaiah 10:18).

I have made their vintage shouting to cease - That is, by the desolation that has come upon the land. The vineyards are destroyed; and of course the shout of joy in the vintage is no more heard.
