Jeremiah 48:30-32
Contemporary English Version
30 But I also know bragging
will never save you.
31 So I will cry and mourn
for Moab
and its town of Kir-Heres.
32 People of Sibmah,
you were like a vineyard
heavy with grapes,
and with branches reaching
north to the town of Jazer
and west to the Dead Sea.[a]
But you have been destroyed,
and so I will weep for you,
as the people of Jazer weep
for the vineyards.

Jeremiah 48:30-32
New International Version
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.
