Isaiah 16:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Isaiah 16:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab
—how proud he is!—
of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
his boasts are false.(A)
7 Therefore let Moab wail;
let everyone wail for Moab.
Mourn, utterly stricken,
for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth.(B)
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and the vines of Sibmah,
whose clusters once made drunk
the lords of the nations,
reached to Jazer
and strayed to the desert;
their shoots once spread abroad
and crossed over the sea.(C)

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)
