Isaiah 16:8-10

Christian Standard Bible

⁸ For Heshbon’s terraced vineyards
and the grapevines of Sibmah have withered.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled its choice vines
that reached as far as Jazer^(A)
and spread to the desert.
Their shoots spread out
and reached the sea.^(B)
9 So I join with Jazer
to weep for the vines of Sibmah;
I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.
Triumphant shouts have fallen silent^[a]
over your summer fruit and your harvest.
¹⁰ Joy and rejoicing^(C) have been removed from the orchard;
no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.^(D)
No one tramples grapes^[b] in the winepresses.
I have put an end to the shouting.
