Isaiah 16:9
9. I--will bewail for its desolation, though I belong to another nation (see on Is 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" (Is 16:10; Jr 25:30; 51:14). In the parallel passage (Jr 48:32) the words substantially express the same sense. "The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits."
