Isaiah 16:9

Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. 1 I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. 1 For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy. 1

Unlocked Literal Bible

In The King James Version

Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

10Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. 1 No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads. 1
