Isaiah 16:6–11

^6aWe have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;

Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury;

^bHis idle boasts are ¹false.

⁷Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.

You will moan for the ^araisin cakes of ^bKir-hareseth

As those who are utterly stricken.

⁸For the fields of ^aHeshbon have ¹withered, the vines of ^bSibmah as well;

The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters

Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;

^cIts tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

⁹Therefore I will ^aweep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;

I will drench you with my tears, O ^bHeshbon and Elealeh;

For the shouting over your ^csummer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

^10aGladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;

In the ^bvineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,

No ^ctreader treads out wine in the presses,

For I have made the shouting to cease.

¹¹Therefore my ^1aheart intones like a harp for Moab

And my ²inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
