Isaiah 16:7-9
Amplified Bible
Isaiah 16:7-9
Amplified Bible
7
Therefore Moab will wail for Moab; everyone will wail.
You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth,
As those who are utterly stricken and discouraged.
8
For the fields of Heshbon have languished and withered, and the vines of Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down [Moab’s] choice vine branches,
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered into the wilderness;
Its tendrils stretched out, they passed over [the shores of] the [Dead] Sea.
9
Therefore I (Isaiah) will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vines of Sibmah.
I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the war-cry [of the enemy] has fallen on your summer fruits and your harvest.
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.
