Isaiah 16:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab (he is very proud) even his pride, and his arrogancy, and his indignation, but his [a]lies shall not be so.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl unto Moab, everyone shall howl: for the foundations of Kir Hareseth shall ye mourn, yet they shall be [b]stricken.
8 For the vineyards of Heshbon are cut down, and the vine of Sibmah: [c]the lords of the heathen have broken the principal vines thereof: they are come unto [d]Jazer: they wandered in the wilderness: her goodly branches stretched out themselves, and went over the sea.

New International Version
Isaiah 16:6-8
New International Version
6 We have heard of Moab’s(A) pride(B)—
how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
but her boasts are empty.
7 Therefore the Moabites wail,(C)
they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
for the raisin cakes(D) of Kir Hareseth.(E)
8 The fields of Heshbon(F) wither,(G)
the vines of Sibmah(H) also.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled down the choicest vines,(I)
which once reached Jazer(J)
and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(K)
and went as far as the sea.[a](L)
