John Calvin Commentary Isaiah 16:10

"And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease." — Isaiah 16:10 (ASV)

Joy is taken away. He confirms, in different words, what he has now said: that the whole country shall be desolate and forsaken, so that there shall never again be a harvest or a vintage in it. When he threatens that God will cause the vine-dressers to cease to sing, he refers to an ancient custom; for when they gathered the vintage, they usually testified their joy both by dancing and by singing. Therefore, these words of Virgil: The exhausted vine-dresser now addresses by song his farthest rows. Similarly, sailors, when they approach the harbor, raise their shout of joy (κἐλευσμα), because, having finished their toils and escaped dangers, they see that they have hope of obtaining some leisure or refreshment. It is as if the Prophet had said, “When the produce of the harvest shall be taken away, nothing will be left to them but to lament their poverty.”
