Therefore Moab wails;
    all of it wails for Moab,
    for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth you moan, utterly devastated.[a]
For Heshbon withers the fields, the vine of Sibmah;
    rulers of nations have broken down her tendrils,
they reached up to Jazer,
    they wandered to the desert;
her shoots spread abroad,
    they crossed over the sea.
Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah.
    I drench you with my tears,[b] Heshbon and Elealeh,
        for a jubilant shout has fallen over your summer fruit and harvest.
