33 Gladness and joy have been taken away
    from the fruitful land of Moab;

34 “Heshbon and Ele-a′leh cry out;[a] as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zo′ar to Horona′im and Eg′lath-shelish′iyah.

  1. Jeremiah 48:34 Cn: Heb From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh

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)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.

34 “The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon(C) to Elealeh(D) and Jahaz,(E)
from Zoar(F) as far as Horonaim(G) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
    for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.(H)
35 In Moab I will put an end
    to those who make offerings on the high places(I)
    and burn incense(J) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
