Verse 8
Isaiah 16:8
Literal Standard Version
8
Because fields of Heshbon languish, || The vine of Sibmah, || Lords of nations beat her choice vines, || They have come to Jazer, || They have wandered in a wilderness, || Her plants have spread themselves, || They have passed over a sea.

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.
