Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 16:9

_ _ I — will bewail for its desolation, though I belong to another nation (see on Isaiah 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” (Isaiah 16:10; Jeremiah 25:30; Jeremiah 51:14). In the parallel passage (Jeremiah 48:32) the words substantially express the same sense. “The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 16:6-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 16:9

Sibmah — I will bewail Sibmah, as I did bewail Jazer, which was destroyed before Sibmah. Fallen — Those joyful shouts which were customary in the time of harvest and vintage, shall cease.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 16:9

Therefore I will (k) bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy (l) harvest is fallen.

(k) He shows that their plague was so great that it would have moved any man to lament with them, as in (Psalms 141:5).

(l) The enemies are come upon you, and shout for joy when they carry your conveniences from you as in (Jeremiah 48:33).
