The Lord’s Compassion on Israel
14 O Lord, protect your people with your shepherd’s staff;

Though they live alone in a thicket
on the heights of Mount Carmel,[a]
let them graze in the fertile pastures of Bashan and Gilead
as they did long ago.

Isaiah 16:8-9
New Living Translation
8 The farms of Heshbon are abandoned;
the vineyards at Sibmah are deserted.
The rulers of the nations have broken down Moab—
that beautiful grapevine.
Its tendrils spread north as far as the town of Jazer
and trailed eastward into the wilderness.
Its shoots reached so far west
that they crossed over the Dead Sea.[a]
9 So now I weep for Jazer and the vineyards of Sibmah;
my tears will flow for Heshbon and Elealeh.
There are no more shouts of joy
over your summer fruits and harvest.
