31 Therefore will I howl for Moab,
and I will cry out for all Moab;
mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
32 O vine of Sibmah,
I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer:
thy plants are gone over the sea,
they reach even to the sea of Jazer:
the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits
and upon thy vintage.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field,
and from the land of Moab;
and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses:
none shall tread with shouting;
their shouting shall be no shouting.

31 Therefore I wail(A) over Moab,
    for all Moab I cry out,
    I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.(B)
32 I weep for you, as Jazer(C) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(D)
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.
33 Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine(E) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(F)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.
