Isaiah 16:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Therefore (A)I weep with (B)the weeping of Jazer
for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over (C)your summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.
10 (D)And joy and gladness are taken away from (E)the fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no (F)songs are sung,
no cheers are raised;
no (G)treader treads out wine (H)in the presses;
I have put an end to the shouting.
11 Therefore (I)my inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,
and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.
Isaiah 16:9-11
New King James Version
9 Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
(A)O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For [a]battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
10 (B)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.
11 Therefore (C)my [b]heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for [c]Kir Heres.
