Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:7

Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab - One part of the nation shall mourn for another; they shall howl, or lament, in alternate responses. Jerome renders it, ‘the people (shall howl) to the city; the city to the provinces.’ The general idea is, that there would be an universal lamentation throughout the land. This would be the punishment which would result from their pride in neglecting to send the tribute and seeking the favor of the Jews; or they would lament because the expectation of finding... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:8

For the fields of Heshbon - (See the note at Isaiah 15:4.)Languish - They are parched up with drought. The ‘fields’ here evidently mean “vineyards,” for so the parallelism demands. So in Deuteronomy 32:32 :Their vine is of the vine of Sodom,And of the fields of Gomorrah.And the vine of Sibmah - Sibmah, or Shibmah, was a city of Reuben Numbers 32:38; Joshua 13:19. Jeremiah, in the parallel place Jeremiah 48:32 speaks of the vine of Sibmah also. He also says that the enemies of Moab had taken... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 16:6-7

Isaiah 16:6-7. We have heard of the pride of Moab, &c. The prophet, having spoken to the Moabites, now turns his speech to God’s people. The sense is, I do not expect that my counsels will have any good effect upon Moab; they will still carry themselves insolently and outrageously. His lies shall not be so His vain imaginations, and false and crafty counsels, shall not take effect. Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab One Moabite shall howl or lament to or for another; for the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 16:8-10

Isaiah 16:8-10. The fields of Heshbon languish Either for want of rain, or, rather, because no men should be left to till and manure them. And the vine of Sibmah These vines and those of Heshbon were greatly celebrated, and held in high repute with all the great men and princes of that and the neighbouring countries, and were propagated from thence, not only over all the country of Moab, but to the sea of Sodom; yea, scions of them, as is signified in the last clause of this verse, were... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

Devastation in Moab (15:1-16:14)The place names mentioned in these two chapters indicate that the attack on Moab comes from the north, most likely from Assyria. The attack is swift and ruthless, and towns fall in a night. Wherever a person looks, there is mourning (15:1-4). Even Isaiah weeps as he sees the people fleeing pitifully, rushing along the streets, across the streams and over the fields that have been damaged by the invading armies. They take with them whatever precious possessions... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 16:7-8

Isaiah 16:7-8. Therefore shall Moab howl— The prophet, foreseeing that the Moabites would proudly reject the counsel he gave them, takes occasion thence to repeat and continue his tragical prophecy concerning the calamity which should happen to them by the divine determination. This prophesy is of the same argument with that preceding, and reaches to the 13th verse. It may be divided into three sentences; the first contained in the 7th and 8th verses; the second in the 9th and 10th; the third... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 16:8

Isaiah 16:8. For the fields, &c.— For the fields of Heshbon are put to shame; the vine of Sibmah languisheth, whose generous shoots overpowered the mighty lords of the nations: they reached unto Jazer; they strayed to the desert; her branches extended themselves, they passed over the sea. The literal meaning of the verse is, "This vine of Sibmah, famous for its fruits, had extended its branches so widely, that they had reached to the lake Jazer, nay, and had even crossed over that lake;... read more
