33. Joy and happiness are gonefrom the large, rich fields of Moab.I have stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses.No one walks on the grapes with shouts of joy.There are shouts,but not shouts of joy.
34. “Their crying can be heard from Moabite towns,from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz.It can be heard from Zoar as far away as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah.Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.
35. I will stop Moabfrom making burnt offerings at the places of worshipand from burning incense to their gods,” says the Lord.
36. “My heart cries sadly for Moab like a flute playing a funeral song.It cries like a flute for the people from Kir Hareseth.The money they made has all been taken away.
37. Every head has been shavedand every beard cut off.Everyone’s hands are cut,and everyone wears rough cloth around his waist.
38. People are crying on every roof in Moaband in every public square.There is nothing but sadness,because I have broken Moablike a jar no one wants,” says the Lord.
