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 wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

God's judgment is so complete that this pinnacle of joy will be replaced by total silence and desolation, as the fruitful fields and vineyards are destroyed.
