33. Joy and gladness are takenFrom the plentiful fieldAnd from the land of Moab;I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses;No one will tread with joyous shouting—Not joyous shouting!
34. “From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh and to JahazThey have uttered their voice,From Zoar to Horonaim,Like a three-year-old heifer;For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
35. “Moreover,” says the Lord,“I will cause to cease in MoabThe one who offers sacrifices in the high placesAnd burns incense to his gods.
36. Therefore My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,And like flutes My heart shall wailFor the men of Kir Heres.Therefore the riches they have acquired have perished.
37. “For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;On all the hands shall be cuts, and on the loins sackcloth—
38. A general lamentationOn all the housetops of Moab,And in its streets;For I have broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
