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.

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.

Context — Judgment on Moab
33Joy 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.
34There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up. 35In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.Cross References

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.
