Context of Isaiah 16:10

8For the fields of Heshbon are dried up, as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations trample all over its vines, which reach Jazer and spread to the desert; their shoots spread out and cross the sea. 9So I weep along with Jazer over the vines of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops. Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards, and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts; no one treads out juice in the wine vats – I have brought the joyful shouts to an end. 11So my heart constantly sighs for Moab, like the strumming of a harp, my inner being sighs for Kir Hareseth. 12When the Moabites plead with all their might at their high places, and enter their temples to pray, their prayers will be ineffective!

The rendering of the Septuagint is , "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 the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10And 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…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-14Verses 6-14 Those who will not be counselled, cannot be helped. More souls are ruined by pride than by any other sin whatever.
