Isaiah 16:10
Isaiah 16:10 in Multiple Translations
Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease.
And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.
Joy and happiness are gone. Nobody celebrates in the harvest fields or the vineyards; nobody shouts happily. Nobody treads grapes in the winepresses. I have stopped their cheering.

Context — Moab’s Destruction
10Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.
11Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres. 12When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.Cross References

Isaiah 16:10 Summary
[Isaiah 16:10 tells us that joy and gladness have been removed from the orchard and vineyards, which means that the things that used to bring happiness are now gone. This is a picture of what happens when we turn away from God and His ways, as seen in Isaiah 5:1-7. Just like the people of Moab, we can experience a loss of joy and prosperity when we disobey God, but we can also find true joy and happiness in Him, as promised in Psalm 16:11. By putting our trust in God and following His ways, we can experience the joy and gladness that comes from knowing Him, as seen in John 15:11.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the orchard and vineyards in Isaiah 16:10?
The orchard and vineyards represent the source of joy and gladness for the people of Moab, as seen in Isaiah 16:10, and their removal signifies the loss of happiness and prosperity, much like the withering of the fields of Heshbon in Isaiah 16:8.
Why has God put an end to the cheering in the winepresses?
God has put an end to the cheering in the winepresses as a form of judgment, as seen in Isaiah 16:10, much like the judgment proclaimed in Isaiah 5:1-7, where God laments the unfruitfulness of His people, and in Jeremiah 25:10, where God promises to remove the sounds of joy from the land.
How does this verse relate to the rest of Isaiah 16?
This verse is part of a larger lamentation over the destruction of Moab, as seen in Isaiah 16:8-12, and serves as a poetic expression of the loss and despair that has befallen the nation, much like the lamentation in Lamentations 1:1-2 over the fall of Jerusalem.
What can we learn from the removal of joy and gladness in this verse?
The removal of joy and gladness in Isaiah 16:10 teaches us that true joy and happiness come from God, as seen in Psalm 16:11, and that when we turn away from Him, we can expect to experience a loss of joy and prosperity, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:47-48.
