Isaiah 16:9

Isaiah 16:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Therefore I will bewail (comp. , and see the Homiletics on that verse). With the weeping of Jazer. "With tears as genuine as Jazer's own" (Kay). O Heshbon and Elealeh (on the close connection of these two cities, see the comment on ).

For the shouting, etc.; rather, for on thy summer fruits and on thy harvest a shouting is fallen. The "shouting" intended is that of the invading enemy, which replaces the ordinary joy-song of the vintagers (see ).
