This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the plentiful field - rather, “Carmel”: as the parallel “land of Moab” requires, though in Isa 16:10, it is “the plentiful field.” Joy is taken away as from the nearer regions (Canaan and Palestine), so from the farther “land of Moab”; what has happened to Judah shall befall Moab, too (Jer 48:26, Jer 48:27) [Maurer]. However, Moab alone seems to be spoken of here; nor does the parallelism forbid “plentiful field” answering to “Moab.” English Version is therefore better.
shouting - repeated; as at the conclusion of the vintage, men sing over and over again the same cry of joy. A shouting shall be heard, but not the joyous shouting of laborers treading the grapes, but the terrible battle cry of the foe.
