For the fields of Heshbon languish,
    and (A)the vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
    have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
    and strayed to the desert;
its shoots spread abroad
    and passed over the sea.
Therefore (B)I weep with (C)the weeping of Jazer
    for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
    O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over (D)your summer fruit and your harvest
    the shout has ceased.
10 (E)And joy and gladness are taken away from (F)the fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no (G)songs are sung,
    no cheers are raised;
no (H)treader treads out wine (I)in the presses;
    I have put an end to the shouting.
