29 “We have heard of Moab’s prideh—

how great is her arrogance!—

of her insolence, her pride, her conceit

and the haughtinessi of her heart.

30 I know her insolence but it is futile,”

declares the Lord,

“and her boastsj accomplish nothing.

31 Therefore I wailk over Moab,

for all Moab I cry out,

I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.l

32 I weep for you, as Jazerm weeps,

you vines of Sibmah.n

Your branches spread as far as the seah;

they reached as far asi Jazer.

The destroyer has fallen

on your ripened fruit and grapes.

33 Joy and gladness are gone

from the orchards and fields of Moab.

I have stopped the flow of wineo from the presses;

no one treads them with shouts of joy.p

Although there are shouts,

they are not shouts of joy.

34 “The sound of their cry rises

from Heshbonq to Elealehr and Jahaz,s

from Zoart as far as Horonaimu and Eglath Shelishiyah,

for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.v

35 In Moab I will put an end

to those who make offerings on the high placesw

and burn incensex to their gods,”

declares the Lord.

36 “So my heart lamentsy for Moab like the music of a pipe;

it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.z

The wealth they acquireda is gone.
