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;

and upon thy vintage.

30 I know her insolence but it is futile,”
declares the Lord,
    “and her boasts(A) accomplish nothing.
31 Therefore I wail(B) over Moab,
    for all Moab I cry out,
    I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.(C)
32 I weep for you, as Jazer(D) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(E)
Your branches spread as far as the sea[a];
    they reached as far as[b] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
    on your ripened fruit and grapes.
