Exegesis
Two parallel prepositional phrases, al-kaytsekh {עַל־קֵיצֵךְ | ʿal-qê-ṣêkh} ‘over your summer fruit’ and ve-al-ketsi-rekh {וְעַל־קְצִירֵךְ | wə-ʿal-qə-ṣî-rekh} ‘and over your harvest,’ frame the cause of lament. The English reproduction retains the Hebrew’s semicolon and repeated prepositions to mirror the original parallelism and thematic emphasis on loss of agricultural rejoicing.
In context — Isaiah 16:9
Therefore I will weep with Jazer’s lament for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, for the shout over your summer fruit and your harvest has fallen.
