כִּ֣י שַׁדְמוֹת֩ חֶשְׁבּ֨וֹן אֻמְלָ֜ל גֶּ֣פֶן שִׂבְמָ֗ה בַּעֲלֵ֤י גוֹיִם֙ הָלְמ֣וּ שְׂרוּקֶּ֔י/הָ עַד יַעְזֵ֥ר נָגָ֖עוּ תָּ֣עוּ מִדְבָּ֑ר שְׁלֻ֣חוֹתֶ֔י/הָ נִטְּשׁ֖וּ עָ֥בְרוּ יָֽם
English Translation
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.
