Jeremiah 48:29-36
King James Version
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

Jeremiah 48:29-36
New King James Version
29 “We have heard the (A)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and (B)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”
30 “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
(C)His [a]lies have made nothing right.
31 Therefore (D)I will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
[b]I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 (E)O vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of (F)Jazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea,
They reach to the sea of Jazer.
The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.
33 (G)Joy and gladness are taken
From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to [c]fail from the winepresses;
No one will tread with joyous shouting—
Not joyous shouting!
34 “From(H) the cry of Heshbon to (I)Elealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
(J)From Zoar to Horonaim,
Like [d]a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
35 “Moreover,” says the Lord,
“I will cause to cease in Moab
(K)The one who offers sacrifices in the [e]high places
And burns incense to his gods.
36 Therefore (L)My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore (M)the riches they have acquired have perished.
