Isaiah 16:8-10
New Century Version
Isaiah 16:8-10
New Century Version
8 But the fields of Heshbon and the vines of Sibmah cannot grow grapes;
foreign rulers have destroyed the grapevines.
The grapevines once spread as far as the city of Jazer and into the desert;
they had spread as far as the sea.
9 I cry with the people of Jazer
for the grapevines of Sibmah.
I will cry with the people of Heshbon and Elealeh.
There will be no shouts of joy,
because there will be no harvest or ripe fruit.
10 There will be no joy and happiness in the orchards
and no songs or shouts of joy in the vineyards.
No one makes wine in the winepresses,
because I have put an end to shouts of joy.
Isaiah 16:8-10
New International Version
Isaiah 16:8-10
New International Version
8 The fields of Heshbon(A) wither,(B)
the vines of Sibmah(C) also.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled down the choicest vines,(D)
which once reached Jazer(E)
and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(F)
and went as far as the sea.[a](G)
9 So I weep,(H) as Jazer weeps,
for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(I)
I drench you with tears!(J)
The shouts of joy(K) over your ripened fruit
and over your harvests(L) have been stilled.
10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards;(M)
no one sings or shouts(N) in the vineyards;
no one treads(O) out wine at the presses,(P)
for I have put an end to the shouting.
