34 From the cry of Hesebon even to Eleale, and to Jasa, they have uttered their voice: from Segor to Oronaim, as a heifer of three years old: the waters also of Nemrim shall be very bad.

33 Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine(A) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(B)

34 “The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon(C) to Elealeh(D) and Jahaz,(E)

    and burn incense(J) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
