25. “Moab’s horn is cut off, and its arm is broken,”declares the Lord.
26. “Get the people of Moab drunk; they have spoken against the Lord.They will wallow in their own vomit, and people will laugh at them.
27. People of Moab, didn’t you laugh at the people of Israel?Were they caught among thieves?Whenever you talk about them you shake your heads in contempt.
28. People of Moab, abandon your cities.Live among the cliffs.Be like doves that make their nests at the entrance of a cave.
29. “We have heard about the arrogance of Moab’s people.They are very arrogant.They are very arrogant, conceited, and boastful.
30. I know how arrogant they are,” declares the Lord,“but it isn’t right.They brag and don’t do what they say.
31. That is why I will weep for Moab and cry for all of Moab.I will moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32. I will cry for you as Jazer cries.I will cry for you, grapevines of Sibmah.Your branches ⌊once⌋ spread as far as the sea,and they reached as far as the sea of Jazer.The destroyer will destroy your ripened fruits and your grapes.
33. Joy and gladness have disappeared from the orchards and fields of Moab.I will stop the wine flowing from the winepresses.No one will stomp on grapes with shouts of joy.There will be shouts, but not shouts of joy.
34. “The cry will be heard from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz. It will be heard from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. Even the streams of Nimrim will dry up.
