31 “Therefore I will (A)wail for Moab,
Even for all Moab will I cry out;
[a]I will moan for the men of (B)Kir-heres.
32 “More than the (C)weeping for (D)Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your tendrils stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
33 “So (E)gladness and joy are taken away
From the fruitful field, even from the land of Moab.
And I have made the wine to (F)cease from the wine presses;
No one will tread them with shouting,
The shouting will not be shouts of joy.
