30 I know his wrath,
    says the Lord,
    but it is futile. His lies have accomplished nothing.
31 Therefore I will howl for Moab,
    and I will cry out for all Moab.
    My heart shall mourn for the men of Kir Hareseth.
32 O vine of Sibmah,

    they reach even to the sea of Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruits
    and upon your vintage.

    “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.
