(A)We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;
Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury;
(B)His idle boasts are [a]false.
Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.
You will moan for the (C)raisin cakes of (D)Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.
For the fields of (E)Heshbon have [b]withered, the vines of (F)Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
(G)Its [c]tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.
