Isaiah 16:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah.
I drench you with my tears,[a] Heshbon and Elealeh,
for a jubilant shout has fallen over your summer fruit and harvest.
10 And joy and gladness are[b] taken away from the fruitful land,
and in the vineyards no one exults,
no one shouts for joy;
no treader treads wine in the presses;
I have put to an end to the jubilant shout.
11 Therefore my heart moans[c] like a harp for Moab
and my inner parts for Kir-heres.
