26. The Lord said, “Make Moab drunk, because it has rebelled against me. Moab will roll in its own vomit, and people will laugh.
27. Moab, remember how you jeered at the people of Israel? You treated them as though they had been caught with a gang of robbers.
28. “You people who live in Moab, leave your towns! Go and live on the cliffs! Be like the dove that makes its nest in the sides of a ravine.
29. Moab is very proud! I have heard how proud, arrogant, and conceited the people are, how much they think of themselves.
30. I, the Lord, know of their arrogance. Their boasts amount to nothing, and the things they do will not last.
31. And so I will weep for everyone in Moab and for the people of Kir Heres.
32. I will cry for the people of Sibmah, even more than for the people of Jazer. City of Sibmah, you are like a vine whose branches reach across the Dead Sea and go as far as Jazer. But now your summer fruits and your grapes have been destroyed.
33. Happiness and joy have been taken away from the fertile land of Moab. I have made the wine stop flowing from the winepresses; there is no one to make the wine and shout for joy.
