6. We have heard of the pride of Moab—how proud he is!— of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;in his idle boasting he is not right.
7. Therefore let Moab wail for Moab, let everyone wail.Mourn, utterly stricken,for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth.
8. For the fields of Heshbon languish,and the vine of Sibmah;the lords of the nationshave struck down its branches,which reached to Jazerand strayed to the desert;its shoots spread abroadand passed over the sea.
9. Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazerfor the vine of Sibmah;I drench you with my tears,O Heshbon and Elealeh;for over your summer fruit and your harvestthe shout has ceased.
10. And joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful field,and in the vineyards no songs are sung,no cheers are raised;no treader treads out wine in the presses;I have put an end to the shouting.
11. Therefore my inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.
