From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to¹ fail from the winepresses;

Not joyous shouting! ‡

For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate. ‡

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. ‡

37 “For ^aevery head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and ^bon the loins sackcloth— ‡
