31 Therefore aI will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
1I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
And I will cry out for all Moab;
1I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 aO vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of bJazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea,
They reach to the sea of Jazer.
The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.

33 aJoy and gladness are taken
From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to1 fail from the winepresses;
No one will tread with joyous shouting—
Not joyous shouting!

34 “Froma the cry of Heshbon to bElealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
cFrom Zoar to Horonaim,
Like1 a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.

aThe one who offers sacrifices in the1 high places
And burns incense to his gods.

36 Therefore aMy heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore bthe riches they have acquired have perished.

On all the hands shall be cuts, and bon the loins sackcloth—

On all the ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have bbroken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
