Isaiah 16:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab—exceedingly proud—
of his arrogance, pride, and insolence; his boasting is not true.[a]
7 Therefore Moab wails;
all of it wails for Moab,
for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth you moan, utterly devastated.[b]
8 For Heshbon withers the fields, the vine of Sibmah;
rulers of nations have broken down her tendrils,
they reached up to Jazer,
they wandered to the desert;
her shoots spread abroad,
they crossed over the sea.

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)
