Isaiah 16:8

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
- 8 For the terraces of Heshʹbon+ have withered,
  The vine of Sibʹmah,+
  The rulers of the nations have trampled its bright-red branches;*
  They had reached as far as Jaʹzer;+
  They had extended into the wilderness.
  
  Its shoots had spread out and gone as far as the sea.

The vine of Sibʹmah+—the owners* of the nations themselves have smitten down its bright-red [branches].* As far as Jaʹzer+ they had reached; they had wandered about in the wilderness. Its own shoots had been left to luxuriate for themselves; they had gone over to the sea.
