Jeremiah 48:33

Jeremiah 48:33 in Multiple Translations

Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.

There's no more celebration and happiness in Moab's orchards and fields. I have stopped the grape juice flowing from the winepresses. No one shouts for joy as they tread out the grapes. No, their shouts now are not because of joy!

And ioye, and gladnesse is taken from the plentifull fielde, and from the land of Moab: and I haue caused wine to faile from the winepresse: none shall treade with shouting: their shouting shall be no shouting.

And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!

Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the wine-presses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

Joy and gladness is taken away from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, and I have taken away the wine out of the presses: the treader of the grapes shall not sing the accustomed cheerful tune.

But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the ◄summer/hot season► will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, so there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.

4 Isaiah 16:9–10 So I weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears. Triumphant shouts have fallen silent over your summer fruit and your harvest.

Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists. Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines, and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry. For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever— the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—

The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”

Jeremiah 48:33 Summary

This verse, Jeremiah 48:33, means that God has taken away the happy times and celebrations from the people of Moab because of their sins. They can no longer enjoy the fruit of their labor, like wine, and this is a result of God's judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 25:10. Just like the people of Moab, we can experience God's judgment when we sin, but we can also experience His love and forgiveness when we turn to Him, as described in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8. By trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness, we can find joy and gladness even in difficult times, as seen in Habakkuk 3:17-19 and James 1:2-4.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for joy and gladness to be removed from the orchard and fields of Moab?

This means that the usual happiness and celebration associated with harvesting and producing wine in Moab has come to an end, as a result of God's judgment, similar to what is described in Isaiah 16:10 and Jeremiah 25:10.

Why has God stopped the flow of wine from the presses in Moab?

God has stopped the flow of wine as a form of judgment on the nation of Moab, removing the source of their joy and gladness, as seen in Jeremiah 48:33, and this is in line with the principle that God can bring judgment on nations for their sins, as described in Jeremiah 1:10 and Ezekiel 25:11.

How does this verse relate to the rest of Jeremiah 48?

This verse is part of a larger prophecy of judgment against Moab, in which God declares that He will bring an end to their idolatrous practices and remove their sources of joy and gladness, as stated in Jeremiah 48:35 and supported by Jeremiah 48:31-32.

What can we learn from this verse about God's character?

This verse teaches us that God is a God of justice who will judge nations for their sins, but also a God of sorrow who mourns the destruction of nations, as seen in Jeremiah 48:31 and Ezekiel 33:11.

Reflection Questions

  1. How do I respond when God removes sources of joy and gladness from my life, and what can I learn from the example of Moab in Jeremiah 48:33?
  2. In what ways can I be mindful of God's presence and judgment in my daily life, just as the people of Moab were judged for their sins, as described in Jeremiah 48:33 and supported by Deuteronomy 28:1-2?
  3. How can I trust in God's sovereignty and goodness even when I do not understand His ways, just as Jeremiah trusted in God's plan for Moab, as seen in Jeremiah 48:33 and supported by Romans 11:33-36?
  4. What are some modern-day 'orchards and fields' where people find joy and gladness, and how can I be a witness to them of God's love and judgment, as described in Matthew 28:18-20 and 1 Corinthians 9:19-23?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 48:33

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field,.... Or, from Carmel (k); not Mount Carmel in the land of Israel; for the prophecy is of Moab; though that reached to Sibmah; but here it

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 48:33

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:33

The time of harvest and vintage being times when the husbandmen were wont to reap the fruit of all their labours the preceding year, were times of great joy ordinarily; but the prophet foretells them of a year when there should be no such rejoicing, for they should have no wine from the winepresses, there should be no shouting as used to be in the time of harvest and of vintage.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:33

Jeremiah 48:33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.Ver. 33. And joy and gladness is taken.] See Isaiah 16:10. Their shouting shall be no shouting.] Their cheer shall be changed, their note altered from what it was wont to be at their gathering in the vintage. So it shall one day fare with the drunkards and belly gods, whose laetitia vertetur in luctum, plausus in planctum, &c., mirth shall be turned into mourning, clapping of hands into wringing of hands, hallooing into howling.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:33

(33) None shall tread with shouting.—The words bring before us the vintage-song of those who trod out the grapes (Jeremiah 25:30; Isaiah 16:10). Of this the prophet says, in a form which reminds us of the δωρααδωρα (“gifts that are no gifts”) of Soph. Aias. 674, that it shall be “no shouting,” i.e., that it shall be turned to wailing and lamentation, or the shout and tumult of battle shall have taken its place.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 48:33

33. This v. is taken with modifications from Isaiah 16:10. And gladness … Moab] probably genuine. From “and I have caused” to the end of Jer 48:34 seems again an expansion. none shall tread with shouting] read rather, with Isaiah, no treader shall tread. the shouting shall be no shouting] The Hebrew noun is used for both the joyous shout of the grape-treaders and for a battle-cry. Thus the clause means that the former shall be transformed into the latter. Cp. Jeremiah 25:30.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 48:33

Winepresses - Rather, “wine-vats,” into which the wine runs from the presses. Their shouting shall be no shouting - The vintage shout is - silence.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:33

29-33. Substantially taken from Isaiah 16:6-10.
