Job 8:19 מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ [is] [the] joy of

Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.

Psalm 48:2 מְשׂ֪וֹשׂ [the] joy of

Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

Here: Festive, outward gladness, the joy of celebration. Zion is the thing all the earth rejoices over, or the source of its joy.

Isaiah 8:6 וּמְשׂ֥וֹשׂ and rejoicing

“Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,

Here: A noun ('exultation') used where a verb would be expected, which makes the syntax rough. It is festive, celebratory joy, the word Isaiah uses elsewhere for a city's gladness (24:8; 60:15; 65:18).

Isaiah 24:8 מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ [the] gaiety of

The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.

Isaiah 24:11 מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ [the] gaiety of

In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.

Isaiah 32:13 מָשׂ֔וֹשׂ joy

and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers—even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.

Here: Celebration that can be seen and heard. Verse 14 bitterly reuses the same word: the city becomes the 'māśôś of wild donkeys'. Human joy gives way to the joy of wild animals.

Isaiah 32:14 מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ a joy of

For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever—the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—

Isaiah 60:15 מְשׂ֖וֹשׂ a joy of

Whereas you have been forsaken and despised, with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from age to age.

Here: Something that causes celebration. Jerusalem was famed as 'the joy of all the earth' (Ps 48:2), a title flung back at her in mockery after her fall (Lam 2:15). Here the title is given back to her.

Isaiah 62:5 וּמְשׂ֤וֹשׂ and [the] joy of

For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

Here: Exultant, celebratory joy, the kind heard at festivals and weddings. It shares a root with the verb 'rejoice' later in the line, so the Hebrew reads 'with the rejoicing of a bridegroom… will rejoice'.

Isaiah 65:18 מָשֽׂוֹשׂ׃ rejoicing

But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.

Here: Same root as sisu at the start. The people become exultation itself, the object others rejoice over. Zion was once 'the joy (masos) of the whole earth' (Ps 48:2), and the mockers of Lam 2:15 threw that title back at the ruined city.

Isaiah 66:10 מָשׂ֔וֹשׂ exultation

Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,

Here: A noun from the same root as the verb before it, so literally 'exult with her an exultation'. Hebrew repeats a root this way for emphasis: 'rejoice with an overflowing joy'. Earlier, masos was the word for what Jerusalem had lost (Lamentations 2:15; 5:15).

Jeremiah 49:25 מְשׂוֹשִֽׂי׃ joy my

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?

Lamentations 2:15 מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ a joy

All who pass by clap their hands at you in scorn. They hiss and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?”

Here: “A joy”: an object of festive delight, something whole peoples celebrate. The words are quoted from Psalm 48:2.

Lamentations 5:15 מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ [the] joy of

Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.

Ezekiel 24:25 מְשׂ֖וֹשׂ [the] joy of

And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,

Hosea 2:11 מְשׂוֹשָׂ֔הּ gaiety her

I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—all her appointed feasts.

Here: The loud, public joy of festival days: music, feasting, wine, dancing. It is the heading for the list. What ends is the celebration itself, and the holy days are where it happened.
