10 (A)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.
11 Therefore (B)my [a]heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for [b]Kir Heres.

12 And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on (C)the high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.

    for I have put an end to the shouting.
11 My heart laments for Moab(E) like a harp,(F)
    my inmost being(G) for Kir Hareseth.
12 When Moab appears at her high place,(H)
    she only wears herself out;
when she goes to her shrine(I) to pray,
    it is to no avail.(J)
