Isa 16:9-11, Jer 8:18-19, 9:10, 18-19, 13:17, 17:16, 48:31-36 | ESV | STEP | Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah ; I drench you with my tears , O Heshbon and Elealeh ; for over your summer fruit and your harvest the shout has ceased .

9 Therefore ^aI weep with ^bthe weeping of Jazer
for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over ^cyour summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.
10 ^dAnd joy and gladness are taken away from ^ethe fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no ^fsongs are sung,
no cheers are raised;
no ^gtreader treads out wine ^hin the presses;
I have put an end to the shouting.
11 Therefore ⁱmy inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,
and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.

Jeremiah 8:18-19

Jeremiah Grieves for His People

18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me; ^{▼▼Compare Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
^kmy heart is sick within me.
19 Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people
from ^lthe length and breadth of the land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
^mIs her King not in her?”
ⁿ“Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images
and with their foreign idols?”

Jeremiah 9:10

10 “I will take up weeping and wailing for the mountains,
and a lamentation for ^othe pastures of the wilderness,
^pbecause they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard;
^qboth the birds of the air and the beasts
have fled and are gone.

Jeremiah 9:18-19

18 let them make haste ^rand raise a wailing over us,
^sthat our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
^t‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

Jeremiah 13:17

17 But if you will not listen,
^umy soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

Jeremiah 17:16

16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,
nor have I desired the day of sickness.
^vYou know ^wwhat came out of my lips;
it was before your face.

Jeremiah 48:31-36

31 ^xTherefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of ^yKir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for ^zJazer I weep for you,
^aaO vine of ^abSibmah!
^acYour branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of ^adJazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
33 ^aeGladness and joy have been taken away
from the fruitful land of Moab;
I have made the wine cease from the winepresses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy;
the shouting is not the shout of joy.
34 ^af“From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to ^agHoronaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate. 35 And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the Lord, him who offers sacrifice in ^ahthe high place and makes offerings to his god. 36 Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of ^aiKir-hareseth. ^ajTherefore the riches they gained have perished.
