32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee, as I wept for Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they are come to the sea [a]of Jazer: the destroyer is fallen upon thy summer fruits, and upon thy vintage,

33 And joy, and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab: and I have caused wine to fail from the winepress: none shall tread with shouting: their shouting shall be no shouting.

34 From the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh and unto Jahaz have they made their noise: from Zoar unto Horonaim, the [b]heifer of three years old shall go lowing: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be wasted.

32 I weep for you, as Jazer(A) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(B)
Your branches spread as far as the sea[a];
    they reached as far as[b] 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 wine(C) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(D)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.

34 “The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon(E) to Elealeh(F) and Jahaz,(G)
from Zoar(H) as far as Horonaim(I) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
    for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.(J)
