Isaiah 16:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 16:6-14

Here we have, I. The sins with which Moab is charged, Isa. 16:6. The prophet seems to check himself for going about to give good counsel to the Moabites, concluding they would not take the advice he gave them. He told them their duty (whether they would hear or whether they would forbear), but despairs of working any good upon them; he would have healed them, but they would not be healed. Those that will not be counselled cannot be helped. Their sins were, 1. Pride. This is most insisted upon;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:10

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field ,.... Or "is gathered" F8 נאסף "colligetur", Montanus; "ad verbum, collectum est", Vatablus. , though their harvest was not; all cause of joy and gladness was removed; a plentiful field being foraged, trampled upon, and destroyed by the enemy, and left desolate without any to manure it: and in the vineyards there shall be no singing ; as there used to be by the men that gathered the grapes, and trod the wine presses;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:10

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 πεπαυται γαρ κελευσμα , "the cry ceaseth;" which last word, necessary to the rendering of the Hebrew and to the sense, is supplied by MSS. Pachom. and 1. D. II., having been lost out of the other copies. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

THE BURDEN OF MOAB ( CONTINUED ). This portion of the "burden" is divided into three sections. In section 1 (from Isaiah 16:1 to the end of Isaiah 16:5 ) an offer of mercy is made to Moab on certain conditions, viz. that she return to her allegiance to the house of David, and show kindness to fugitive Israelites. In section 2 ( Isaiah 16:6-12 ) she is supposed to have rejected this offer, and is threatened (as in Isaiah 15:1-9 .) with severe punishment. In section 3... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:6-11

Guilty arrogance and commendable compassion. I. THE GUILT OF ARROGANCE . ( Isaiah 16:6 .) Moab was proud, haughty, insolent, boastful; she lifted up herself in contemptuous defiance of Judah, of the city of God; and the prophet of Jehovah speaks of her arrogance as a very great offence in 'the eyes of the supreme Disposer. There is nothing which is more emphatically, or more repeatedly condemned in Scripture than haughtiness of heart or spiritual pride; it is a very rank offence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:7-14

Lament over Moab. I. MOAB 'S SELF - LAMENTATION . "Moab will wail for Moab; everything will wail." In her misery and distress, she reflects on her beauty. A fair land is like a fair maiden, and her desolation excites the like poignant self-pity. "I know not a greater grief," said Dante, "than to recall the happy time in the midst of distress." The picture of Moab ' s former happiness . The vineyard and all its gladdening associations represent the endearing charms of the land.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:9-10

The sadness of a silent land. These verses bring before us the picture of a country from which, at the proper seasons, there rises no harvest and no vintage song. "Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in its vineyard there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting." In every age and every land the gladness of the people has found expression in the joy of harvest, and no picture of woe, want, and desolation could be so effective as this simple one of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:10

The plentiful field ; Hebrew, Carmel. The word carmel seems to designate "garden," or "orchard ground" generally, without reference to the degree of fertility. It is generally rendered by our translators "fruitful field," which is right, if we regard "fruitful" as equivalent to "fruit-producing." No singing … no shouting . Those who have heard the vintage-songs in the north of Italy and elsewhere will appreciate the sadness of this silence. The treaders shall tread out no wine in their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:10

A harvest failure. "I have made their vintage shouting to cease." Why? Because the harvest is fallen . In the vineyards there is no shouting, for all the fruits are blighted and withered. Thus is it with every harvest which is evil. Men expect much, and lo! it often comes to nothing. The glory departs if God is forgotten. I. WE LIVE FOR THE FUTURE . Few live in the present hour alone. Some amass property, looking forward to days of retirement and ease; some go to far-away... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:10

And gladness ... - The gladness and joy that was commonly felt in the field producing a rich and luxuriant harvest.Out of the plentiful field - Hebrew, ‘From Carmel;’ but Carmel means a fruitful field as well as the mountain of that name (see the note at Isaiah 10:18).I have made their vintage shouting to cease - That is, by the desolation that has come upon the land. The vineyards are destroyed; and of course the shout of joy in the vintage is no more heard. read more
