No one treads the grapes with shouting.
Their shouting is not joyful shouting [but is instead, a battle cry].

33 Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine(A) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(B)

    they are not shouts of joy.

34 “The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon(C) to Elealeh(D) and Jahaz,(E)
from Zoar(F) as far as Horonaim(G) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
    for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.(H)
35 In Moab I will put an end
    to those who make offerings on the high places(I)
    and burn incense(J) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
