We have heard of the pride of Moab—exceedingly proud—
    of his arrogance, pride, and insolence; his boasting is not true.[a]
Therefore Moab wails;
    all of it wails for Moab,
    for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth you moan, utterly devastated.[b]

they reached up to Jazer,
    they wandered to the desert;
her shoots spread abroad,
    they crossed over the sea.
