32 More than the weeping for Jazer,[a]
    I’ll weep for you, vine of Sibmah.[b]
Your branches spread out to the sea,
    and reached as far as the Sea of Jazer.[c]
On your summer fruit and grapes[d]
    the destroyer will fall.
33 Gladness and rejoicing will be taken away
    from the fruitful land.[e]
From the land of Moab I’ll cause the wine
    in the wine presses to stop flowing.[f]
The workers won’t tread[g] the grapes with a loud shout.[h]
    There will be no shout!

34 “From the cry of Heshbon, to Elealeh, to Jahaz they have lifted up their voice. From Zoar to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah, even the waters of Nimrim will become a desolate place.

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)
