Isaiah 16:7-9
21st Century King James Version
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl; for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof. They are come even unto Jazer; they wandered through the wilderness; her branches are stretched out; they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the shouting has fallen.

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.
