31 Therefore I will (A)wail for Moab,
Even for all Moab will I cry out;
[a]I will moan for the men of (B)Kir-heres.
32 More than the (C)weeping for (D)Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your branches stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
33 So (E)gladness and joy are gathered up
From the fruitful orchard, even from the land of Moab.
And I have made the wine to (F)cease from the wine presses;
No one will tread them with shouting,
The shouting will not be shouts of joy.

  1. Jeremiah 48:31 Or He

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.
