Isaiah 16:7-12
7Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the 1raisin cakes of 2Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.8For the fields of 3Heshbon have 4withered, the vines of 5Sibmah as well; The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts; 6Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.9Therefore I will 7weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O 8Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your 9summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.1010Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the 11vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No 12treader treads out wine in the presses, For I have made the shouting to cease.11Therefore my 1314heart intones like a harp for Moab And my 15inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.12So it will come about when Moab 16presents himself, When he 17wearies himself upon his 18high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.
