Isaiah 16:8-10
New King James Version
8 For (A)the fields of Heshbon languish,
And (B)the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the (C)sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
(D)O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For [a]battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
10 (E)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.

(A)The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
(B)The new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.
Joel 1:12
New King James Version
12 (A)The vine has dried up,
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely (B)joy has withered away from the sons of men.
