Holy Scripture

Isaiah 16:10

A church father on this verse
“(Verse 10) And joy and gladness shall be taken away from Carmel. It is the language of the Scriptures that always compares Mount Carmel, which overlooks Ptolemais and contains abundant forests, where Elijah prayed, to fertility and abundance, and thus signifies that all joy and fertility shall be taken away from once…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Commentary on Isaiah

Source: Septuagint

Original

10And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not rejoice at all in thy vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for the vintage has ceased.

In context

8The plains of Heshbon shall mourn, the vine of Sibmah: swallowing up the nations, trample ye her vines, even to Jazer: ye shall not come together; wander ye in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.

9Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; Heshbon and Elealeh have cast down thy trees; for I will trample on thy harvest and on thy vintages, and all thy plants shall fall.

— Isaiah 16:10 —

11Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and thou hast repaired my inward parts as a wall.

12And it shall be to thy shame (for Moab is wearied at the altars), that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
