Isaiah 16:7-9
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
7 Therefore shall Moab howl to Moab, every one shall howl: to them that rejoice upon the brick walls, tell ye their stripes.
8 For the suburbs of Hesebon are desolate, and the lords of the nations have destroyed the vineyard of Sabama: the branches thereof have reached even to Jazer: they have wandered in the wilderness, the branches thereof are left, they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I will lament with the weeping of Jazer the vineyard of Sabama: I will water thee with my tears, O Hesebon, and Eleale: for the voice of the treaders hath rushed in upon thy vintage, and upon thy harvest.

Isaiah 16:7-9
New International Version
7 Therefore the Moabites wail,(A)
they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
for the raisin cakes(B) of Kir Hareseth.(C)
8 The fields of Heshbon(D) wither,(E)
the vines of Sibmah(F) also.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled down the choicest vines,(G)
which once reached Jazer(H)
and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(I)
and went as far as the sea.[a](J)
9 So I weep,(K) as Jazer weeps,
for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(L)
I drench you with tears!(M)
The shouts of joy(N) over your ripened fruit
and over your harvests(O) have been stilled.
