32 O vine of Sibmah,
    I will weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer.
Your plants have stretched over the sea,
    they reach even to the sea of Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruits
    and upon your vintage.
33 Joy and gladness are taken away
    from the plentiful field, even from the land of Moab,
and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses;
    no one will tread with shouting.
    Their shouting will not be shouts of joy.

34 From the outcry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, and even to Jahaz,
    they have uttered their voice,
from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath Shelishiyah;
    for also the waters of Nimrim shall become desolate.

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)
