Isaiah 16:6-8
International Standard Version
6 “We’ve heard about Moab’s pride—
so very proud he became!—[a]
his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
therefore he is alone.[b]
7 Therefore, let Moab not[c] wail,
let everyone wail for Moab.
Lament and grieve deeply
for the ruined remains[d] of Kir-hareseth.
8 For the fields of Heshbon wither,
as well as the vines of Sibmah.[e]
The rulers of the nations
have struck down its choicest vines,
which once reached Jazer
and pushed to the desert.
Its shoots spread out
and passed over the sea.”
