Isaiah 16:6-8
Revised Standard Version
Isaiah 16:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab,
how proud he was;
of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence—
his boasts are false.
7 Therefore let Moab wail,
let every one wail for Moab.
Mourn, utterly stricken,
for the raisin-cakes of Kir-har′eseth.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and the vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
and strayed to the desert;
its shoots spread abroad
and passed 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)
