Jeremiah 48:30-34 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

30. The Lord says, “I know Moab gets angry quickly and brags about himself, but his boasts are lies. He cannot do what he says.

31. So I cry for Moab. I cry for everyone in Moab. I cry for the men from Kir Hareseth.

32. I cry with the people of Jazer for Jazer. Sibmah, in the past your vines spread all the way to the sea. They reached as far as the town of Jazer. But the Destroyer has taken your fruit and grapes.

33. Joy and happiness are gone from the large vineyards of Moab. I stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses. There is no singing and dancing from people walking on the grapes to make wine. There are no shouts of joy.

34. “The people of the towns of Heshbon and Elealeh are crying. Their cry is heard even as far away as the town of Jahaz. Their cry is heard from the town of Zoar, as far away as the towns of Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.
