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.
Gladness is taken from the plentiful field - rather, 'is taken from Carmel;' as the parallel "land of Moab" requires, though in Isaiah 16:10 it is "gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field." Joy is taken away, as from the nearer regions (Canaan and Palestine, represented here by "Carmel"), so, from the further "land of Moab," what has happened Judah shall befall Moab too (Jeremiah 48:26-27). (Maurer.) However, Moab alone seems to be spoken of here; nor does the parallelism forbid plentiful field" answering to "Moab." The English version is therefore better.
None shall tread with shouting - repeated, as at the conclusion of the vintage men sing over and over again the same cry of joy.
Their shouting shall be no shouting - a shouting shall be heard, but not the joyous shouting of labourers treading the grapes, but the terrible battle-cry of the foe.
