10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards,
    in the vineyards people will sing no songs,[a]
and[b] no cheers are raised.
    No vintner[c] treads out wine in the presses,
        because I’ve put an end to the shouting.
11 Therefore my insides[d] moan like a lyre for Moab,
    and my innermost being[e] for Kir-hareseth.
12 When Moab appears,
    when he arrives[f] upon the high place
and comes to his sanctuary to pray,
    he will not prevail.”
