Isaiah 16:7-9
Modern English Version
Isaiah 16:7-9
Modern English Version
7 Therefore Moab shall wail for Moab;
everyone shall wail.
For the loss of raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
surely they are destroyed.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and the vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
have broken down its choice plants;
they have come as far as Jazer
and wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out;
they are passed over the sea.
9 Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer,
the vine of Sibmah;
I will water you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh.
For the shouting for your summer fruits
and for your harvest has fallen away.
Isaiah 16:7-9
New International Version
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.
