New King James Version
8 For (A)the fields of Heshbon languish,
And (B)the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.

They are gone over the (C)sea.

With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,

For [a]battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
