30. I know his wrath,” says the Lord, “that it is nothing;his boastings have done nothing.
31. Therefore I will wail for Moab.Yes, I will cry out for all Moab.They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32. With more than the weeping of JazerI will weep for you, vine of Sibmah.Your branches passed over the sea.They reached even to the sea of Jazer.The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruitsand on your vintage.
33. Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful fieldand from the land of Moab.I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses.No one will tread with shouting.The shouting will be no shouting.
34. From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh,even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice,from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah;for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35. Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the Lord,“him who offers in the high place,and him who burns incense to his gods.
36. Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes,and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres.Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37. For every head is bald,and every beard clipped.There are cuttings on all the hands,and sackcloth on the waist.
38. On all the housetops of Moab,and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere;for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the Lord.
39. “How it is broken down!How they wail!How Moab has turned the back with shame!So will Moab become a derisionand a terror to all who are around him.”
40. For the Lord says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle,and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41. Kerioth is taken,and the strongholds are seized.The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that daywill be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42. Moab will be destroyed from being a people,because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
