33. the plentiful field--rather, "Carmel": as the parallel "land of
Moab" requires, though in
Isa 16:10,
it is "the plentiful field." Joy is taken away as from the nearer
regions (Canaan and Palestine), so from the farther "land of Moab";
what has happened to Judah shall befall Moab, too
(Jer 48:26, 27)
[MAURER]. However, Moab alone seems to be spoken
of here; nor does the parallelism forbid "plentiful field" answering to
"Moab." English Version is therefore better.
shouting--repeated; as at the conclusion of the vintage, men sing over
and over again the same cry of joy. A shouting shall be heard, but not
the joyous shouting of laborers treading the grapes, but the terrible
battle cry of the foe.
