    but his boasts are lies.
    He cannot do what he says.
31 So I cry for Moab.
    I cry for everyone in Moab.
    I cry for the men from Kir Hareseth.

32 I weep for you, as Jazer(D) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(E)

    they reached as far as[b] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
    on your ripened fruit and grapes.
