31 So now I wail for Moab;
    yes, I will mourn for Moab.
    My heart is broken for the men of Kir-hareseth.[a]

32 “You people of Sibmah, rich in vineyards,
    I will weep for you even more than I did for Jazer.
Your spreading vines once reached as far as the Dead Sea,[b]
    but the destroyer has stripped you bare!
    He has harvested your grapes and summer fruits.
33 Joy and gladness are gone from fruitful Moab.
    The presses yield no wine.
No one treads the grapes with shouts of joy.
    There is shouting, yes, but not of joy.

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.
