30 The Lord says,
    “I know ·Moab’s great pride [L his insolence], but it is ·useless [false].
    Moab’s bragging accomplishes nothing.
31 So I ·cry sadly [wail] for Moab,
    for everyone in Moab.
    I ·moan [mourn] for the people from the town of Kir Hareseth.
32 I cry with the people of the town of Jazer
    for you, the grapevines of the town of Sibmah.
In the past your vines spread all the way to the sea,
    as far as the sea of Jazer.
But the destroyer has ·taken over [L fallen on]
    your ·fruit [summer fruits] and ·grapes [vintage].

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.
