Verse 8
Isaiah 16:8
Bible in Basic English
8
For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.

For the desolate fields of Heshbon, the vine is lamented among the nations; the hissing ceased until they reached Jazir; they wandered in the wilderness; the branches were broken; they crossed the sea.
