Therefore I will (A)weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
I will drench you with my tears, (B)Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the shouting over your (C)summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.
10 (D)Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;
In the (E)vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No (F)treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.
11 Therefore my [a](G)inner being sounds like a harp for Moab.
And my [b]heart for Kir-hareseth.

    no one sings or shouts(G) in the vineyards;

11 My heart laments for Moab(J) like a harp,(K)
    my inmost being(L) for Kir Hareseth.
