Isaiah 16:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ But the fields of Heshbon and the vines of Sibmah cannot grow grapes.
    Foreign rulers have destroyed the grapevines.
The grapevines once spread as far as the city of Jazer and into the desert.
    They had spread as far as the sea.
⁹ I cry with the people of Jazer
    for the grapevines of Sibmah.
I will cry with the people of Heshbon and Elealeh.
There will be no shouts of joy,
    because there will be no harvest or ripe fruit.
¹⁰ There will be no joy and happiness in the orchards.
    There will be no songs or shouts of joy in the vineyards.
No one makes wine in the winepresses.
    I have put an end to shouts of joy.
