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.
35. I will stop those in Moab who come to worship sites, those who bring offerings to their gods,” declares the Lord.
36. “That is why I moan for Moab like a flute. I sound like a flute for the people of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they gained has disappeared.
37. “Every head is shaved, and every beard is cut off. There are gashes on every hand and sackcloth on every waist.
38. People in Moab will mourn on every rooftop and in every street. There will be mourning everywhere, because I will break Moab like a jar that no one wants,” declares the Lord.
39. “They will cry, ‘Look how Moab is defeated! Moab turns away in shame!’ Moab has become something ridiculed and something held in contempt by everyone around it.
40. “This is what the Lord says:The enemy will swoop down like eagles and spread their wings over Moab.
41. The cities will be taken, and the fortified places will be captured.On that day Moab’s soldiers will be like women in childbirth.
42. Moab will be destroyed as a nation,because it spoke against the Lord.
43. Disasters, pits, and traps are in store for those who live in Moab,”declares the Lord.
