Isa 16:9 | NET2full | STEP | So I weep along with Jazer over the vines of Sibmah . I will saturate you with my tears , Heshbon and Elealeh , for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops .

‏ Isaiah 16:9

9 So I weep along with Jazer ^{▼▼tn Heb “So I weep with the weeping of Jazer.” Once more the speaker (the Lord?—see v. 10b) plays the role of a mourner (see 15:5).}
over the vines of Sibmah.
I will saturate you ^{▼▼tc The form אֲרַיָּוֶךְ (ʾarayyavekh) should be emended to אֲרַוָּיֶךְ (ʾaravvayekh; the vav [ו] and yod [י] have been accidentally transposed) from רָוָה (ravah, “be saturated”).} with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh,
for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly
over your fruit and crops. ^{▼▼tn Heb “for over your fruit and over your harvest shouting has fallen.” The translation assumes that the shouting is that of the conqueror (Jer 51:14). Another possibility is that the shouting is that of the harvesters (see v. 10b, as well as Jer 25:30), in which case one might translate, “for the joyful shouting over the fruit and crops has fallen silent.”}
