Isaiah 16:8-9
New American Standard Bible
8 For the fields of (A)Heshbon have [a]withered, the vines of (B)Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
(C)Its [b]tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.
9 Therefore I will (D)weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
I will drench you with my tears, (E)Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the shouting over your (F)summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

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.
