Exegesis
The oracle then shifts to harvest imagery with yayin ba-yeqavim {יַיִן בַּיְקָבִ֛ים | yā-yīn ba-yā-qā-vîm} ‘wine in the presses’, the negated action lo-yidrokh {לֹֽא־יִדְרֹךְ | lōʾ-yiḏ-rōḵ} ‘will not tread’, and ha-dorekh {הַדֹּרֵ֖ךְ | ha-dō-rē-kh} ‘the treader’.
In context — Isaiah 16:10
Joy and gladness have been withdrawn from the fertile plateau; in the vineyards there shall be no singing or shouting; no wine will be trodden in the winepresses; I have brought the vintage shout to an end.
