16:8 For the fields of Heshbon are dried up,
as well as the vines of Sibmah.
The rulers of the nations trample all over its vines,
which reach Jazer and spread to the desert;
their shoots spread out and cross the sea.
16:10 Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards,
and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts;
no one treads out juice in the wine vats 1 –
I have brought the joyful shouts to an end. 2
1 tn Heb “wine in the vats the treader does not tread.”
2 sn The Lord appears to be the speaker here. See 15:9.
