30 I know his insolence, declares the Lord;
    (A)his boasts are false,
    his deeds are false.
31 (B)Therefore I wail for Moab;
    I cry out for all Moab;
    for the men of (C)Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for (D)Jazer I weep for you,
    (E)O vine of (F)Sibmah!
(G)Your branches passed over the sea,
    reached to the Sea of (H)Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
    the destroyer has fallen.

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,

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.
