31 Therefore will I lament for Moab, and I will cry out to all Moab, for the men of the brick wall that mourn.

32 O vineyard of Sabama, I will weep for thee, with the mourning of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they are come even to the sea of Jazer: the robber hath rushed in upon thy harvest and thy vintage.

33 Joy and gladness is taken away from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, and I have taken away the wine out of the presses: the treader of the grapes shall not sing the accustomed cheerful tune.

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.
