Isaiah 16:9

     9. I—will bewail for its desolation, though I belong to another nation (see on Isa 15:5).

      with . . . weeping of Jazer—as Jazer weeps.

      shouting for . . . fallen—rather, "Upon thy summer fruits and upon thy luxuriant vines the shouting (the battle shout, instead of the joyous shout of the grape-gatherers, usual at the vintage) is fallen" (Isa 16:10; Jer 25:30; 51:14). In the parallel passage (Jer 48:32) the words substantially express the same sense. "The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits."
