Isaiah 16:7-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Therefore let Moab wail;
let every one of them wail for Moab.
Mourn, you who are completely devastated,
for the raisin cakes(A) of Kir-hareseth.(B)
8 For Heshbon’s terraced vineyards
and the grapevines of Sibmah have withered.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled its choice vines
that reached as far as Jazer(C)
and spread to the desert.
Their shoots spread out
and reached the Dead Sea.(D)
9 So I join with Jazer
to weep for the vines of Sibmah;
I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.
Triumphant shouts have fallen silent[a]
over your summer fruit and your harvest.
10 Joy and rejoicing(E) have been removed from the orchard;
no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.(F)
No one tramples grapes[b] in the winepresses.
I have put an end to the shouting.

they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
for the raisin cakes(B) of Kir Hareseth.(C)
8 The fields of Heshbon(D) wither,(E)
the vines of Sibmah(F) also.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled down the choicest vines,(G)
which once reached Jazer(H)
and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(I)
and went as far as the sea.[a](J)
9 So I weep,(K) as Jazer weeps,
for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(L)
I drench you with tears!(M)
The shouts of joy(N) over your ripened fruit
and over your harvests(O) have been stilled.
10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards;(P)
no one sings or shouts(Q) in the vineyards;
no one treads(R) out wine at the presses,(S)
for I have put an end to the shouting.
