Context — A Prophecy Against Moabgenerated

32I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
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.

Jeremiah 48:33 expresses a deep sorrow for the land of Moab, indicating that joy and gladness have been removed due to impending judgment. This reflects the broader theme of loss and desolation in the context of God's pronouncements against nations that turn away from Him. The surrounding verses highlight the devastation of Moab's agricultural bounty and the cessation of joyful celebrations, emphasizing the severity of the situation.


Cross References

ReferenceText (BSB)
1Jeremiah 25:9–10behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
2Isaiah 9:3You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.
3Isaiah 16:9So 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.
4Isaiah 24:7–12The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.

The Key Word נֶאֶסְפָ֨ה, ne'esfahgenerated

The verb אָסַף (asaf) means 'to gather' or 'to remove.' In this context, it indicates that joy and gladness have been taken away, signifying a profound loss for the people of Moab. The Niphal form used here suggests that this removal is passive, emphasizing that it is not an action taken by the people themselves but rather a consequence of divine judgment.

This word appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts related to gathering people or things, but here it conveys the stark reality of loss and absence. The sense of gathering is inverted, showing that instead of bringing together joy, it has been withdrawn.


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 of the verse is נֶאֶסְפָ֨ה, it has been removed, which governs the subject of joy and gladness. The structure emphasizes the removal of these elements from Moab's agricultural landscape, with multiple prepositional phrases detailing the sources of this loss.

The use of conjunctions and prepositional phrases creates a layered sentence that conveys the depth of Moab's desolation, with each phrase adding to the overall sense of sorrow and judgment.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates נֶאֶסְפָ֨ה as συνεψήσθη (sunepsēthē), which means 'has been gathered together' or 'has been removed.' This choice reflects a similar understanding of the loss of joy, but it also introduces a nuance of gathering that may suggest a collective response to the judgment.

This translation choice indicates that the translators viewed the removal of joy not just as an individual loss but as a communal experience for the people of Moab.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 48:33 tells us that joy and gladness have been taken away from the fields and vineyards of Moab. This reflects God's judgment on the land, where celebrations have ceased, and the flow of wine has stopped. The people are left in sorrow, unable to express joy as they once did.

(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.

Other nouns are masos and sason, both from sus, properly "to spring," "leap," hence, "exult," "rejoice"; rinnah, "shouting." "joy"; gil, from verb gil or gul, "to go in a circle," hence, "be excited" (dancing round for joy), "rejoice." In the New…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

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.
