Isaiah 16:8

8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and ^athe vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
and strayed to the desert;
its shoots spread abroad
and passed over the sea.

Jeremiah 9:17-20

17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
^b“Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;
send for the skillful women to come;
18 let them make haste ^cand raise a wailing over us,
^dthat our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
^e‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a lament,
and each to her neighbor a dirge.

Jeremiah 48:31-33

31 ^fTherefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of ^gKir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for ^hJazer I weep for you,
ⁱO vine of ^jSibmah!
^kYour branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of ^lJazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
33 ^mGladness 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.

Revelation of John 18:14-20

14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15 ⁿThe merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, ^owill stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
^pthat was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For ^qin a single hour all this wealth ^rhas been laid waste.”
And ^sall shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and ^tcried out ^uas they saw the smoke of her burning,

^v“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw ^wdust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
^xwhere all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For ^yin a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 ^zRejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and ^aaapostles and prophets,
for ^abGod has given judgment for you against her!”
