9 That is why I shall weep with the weeping of Jaʹzer over the vine of Sibʹmah.+ With my tears I shall drench you, O Heshʹbon+ and E·le·aʹleh,+ because shouting even over your summer and over your harvest has fallen down.*+

8 And the despoiler will come in on every city,+ and there will be no city that can make its escape.+ And the low plain will certainly perish and the level land be annihilated, a thing that Jehovah has said.
