  • Isa 16:7-9 : 7 Therefore, Moab will wail for Moab—everyone will wail. Mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, utterly stricken and grieving. 8 The fields of Heshbon languish, as does the vine of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have struck its choice vines, which reached as far as Jazer, wandered into the wilderness, and spread their shoots abroad, crossing the sea. 9 Therefore, I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, for over your summer fruits and your harvest, shouts of joy have fallen silent. 10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the fertile fields. In the vineyards, no songs are sung, no cheers are heard. No one treads out wine in the presses—the cheerful shouting has stopped. 11 Therefore, my heart moans like a lyre for Moab, and my innermost being for Kir Hareseth.
