32 People of Sibmah,
you were like a vineyard
    heavy with grapes,
and with branches reaching
north to the town of Jazer
    and west to the Dead Sea.[a]
But you have been destroyed,
    and so I will weep for you,
as the people of Jazer weep
    for the vineyards.

33 Harvest celebrations are gone
from the orchards and farms
    of Moab.
I have silenced the shouts
    of people making wine.
34 Weeping from Heshbon
can be heard as far
    as Elealeh and Jahaz;
cries from Zoar are heard
in Horonaim
    and Eglath-Shelishiyah.
And Nimrim Creek has run dry.
