The phrase "my inward being" represents Yahweh. The word "sighs" is understood from the previous phrase. See how you translated Kir Hareseth in [Isaiah 16:7](./07.md). Alternate translation: "my inward being sighs for Kir Hareseth" or "I am very sad for the people of Kir Hareseth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
