Context — The Lament for Moabgenerated

9So 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.
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.

Isaiah 16:10 describes a time of sorrow for Moab, where joy and gladness have been taken away from the orchards and vineyards. This reflects the consequences of judgment, as the once vibrant land now experiences silence and desolation. The verses surrounding this one further emphasize the depth of mourning and the end of celebration in the region, illustrating the impact of loss on the community.

The Key Word וְנֶאֱסַ֨ף, ve.ne.'e.Safgenerated

The verb אָסַף (acaph) means to gather or remove. In this context, it conveys the sense of joy being taken away from the land, indicating a significant loss. The Niphal form suggests that this removal is not just a simple act but is part of a larger divine judgment.

This word appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts related to gathering people or things, but here it emphasizes the removal of joy and gladness, marking a somber shift in the atmosphere.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb is וְנֶאֱסַ֨ף, and it will be removed, which governs the structure of the verse. Several phrases follow, including descriptions of what has been removed and the actions that are no longer taking place in the vineyards.

The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the removal of joy first, setting the tone for the lament that follows. This structure highlights the gravity of the situation and the impact on the community.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וְנֶאֱסַ֨ף as ἀρθήσεται, which carries a similar meaning of being taken away. This choice reflects a direct translation of the Hebrew intent, emphasizing the cessation of joy.

The use of this Greek term suggests a continuity in the understanding of loss, as it aligns closely with the Hebrew context of mourning and absence.

(10) Out of the plentiful field.—Literally, out of the Carmel, one of Isaiah’s favourite words, as in Isaiah 10:18; Isaiah 29:17. The word for “shouting” is the hedad of the previous verse. In the words, “I have made . . .” Jehovah speaks as declaring that the work of desolation, though wrought by human hands, is yet His. The prophet, while he weeps in true human pity, is taught not to forget that the desolation is a righteous punishment.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 10. Neither shall there be shouting - "An end is put to the shouting"] The Septuagint read השבת hishbeth, passive, and in the third person; rightly, for God is not the speaker in this place. The rendering of the Septuagint is πεπαυταιγαρκελευσμα, "the cry ceaseth;" which last word, necessary to the rendering of the Hebrew and to the sense, is supplied by MSS. Pachom. and I. D. II., having been lost out of the other copies.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

10. (Jeremiah 48:33) shouting and vintage shouting are entirely different words; the first may be translated by joyful noise as in R.V. the treaders shall tread out no wine] i.e. there shall be none treading wine. In the last clause—“I have stilled”—the voice of Jehovah is again heard; some critics, however, read “is stilled.”

Wine

The common Hebrew word for wine is yayin, from a root meaning “to boil up,” “to be in a ferment.” Others derive it from a root meaning “to tread out,” and hence the juice of the grape trodden out. The Greek word for wine is oinos_, and the Latin _vinun. But besides this common Hebrew word, there are several others which are thus rendered.

(1.) Ashishah (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1), which, however, rather denotes a solid cake of pressed grapes, or, as in the Revised Version, a cake of raisins.

(2.) ‘Asis, “sweet wine,” or “new wine,” the product of the same year (Cant. 8:2;

The manufacture of wine is carried back in the Bible to the age of Noah, (Genesis 9:20,21) to whom the discovery of the process is apparently, though not explicitly, attributed. The natural history and culture of the vine are described under a separate head. [VINE] The only other plant whose fruit is noticed as having been converted into wine was the pomegranate. (Solomon 8:2) In Palestine the vintage takes place in September, and is celebrated with great rejoicing. The ripe fruit was gathered in baskets, (Jeremiah 6:9) as represented in Egyptian paintings, and was carried to the wine-press. It was then placed in the upper one of the two vats or receptacles of which the winepress was formed, and was subjected to the process of "treading," which has prevailed in all ages in Oriental…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The vine being natural to the soil of Canaan and its vicinity, wine was much used as a beverage, especially at festivals, Es 1:7 5:6 Da 5:1-4 Joh 2:3. As one of the staple products of the Holy Land, it was employed for drink-offerings in the temple service, Ex 20:26 Nu 15:4-10; it was included among the "first-fruits," De 18:4, and was used in the celebration of the Passover, and subsequently of the Lord’s supper, Mt 26:27-29. Together with corn and oil it denoted all temporal supplies,
