29. We have all heard of the pride of Moab,for his pride is very great.We know of his lofty pride,his arrogance, and his haughty heart.
30. I know about his insolence,”says the lord,“but his boasts are empty—as empty as his deeds.
31. So now I wail for Moab;yes, I will mourn for Moab.My heart is broken for the men of Kir-hareseth.
32. “You people of Sibmah, rich in vineyards,I will weep for you even more than I did for Jazer.Your spreading vines once reached as far as the Dead Sea,but the destroyer has stripped you bare!He has harvested your grapes and summer fruits.
