Jeremiah 48:33

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting." — Jeremiah 48:33 (ASV)

Winepresses - Rather, “wine-vats,” into which the wine runs from the presses.

Their shouting shall be no shouting - The vintage shout is - silence. For the vines have been destroyed, and desolation reigns where once was the joyful cry of those who tread the grapes.
