9. I cry with the people of Jazerfor the grapevines of Sibmah.I will cry with the people of Heshbon and Elealeh.There will be no shouts of joy,because there will be no harvest or ripe fruit.
10. There will be no joy and happiness in the orchards.There will be no songs or shouts of joy in the vineyards.No one makes wine in the winepresses.I have put an end to shouts of joy.
11. My heart cries for Moab like a harp playing a funeral song.I am very sad for Kir Hareseth.
12. The people of Moab will go to their places of worship.They will try to pray.But when they go to their temple to pray,they will not be able.
13. The Lord said these things about Moab before.
14. And now the Lord says, “In three years all those people and what they are proud of will be hated. (This is three years as a hired helper would count time.) There will be a few people left, but they will be weak.”
