Isaiah 16:8-9
English Standard Version
Isaiah 16:8-9
English Standard Version
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and (A)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.
9 Therefore (B)I weep with (C)the weeping of Jazer
for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over (D)your summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.
Isaiah 16:8-9
New International Version
Isaiah 16:8-9
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.

8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
