⁷ Therefore the Moabites wail,^(A)
    they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes^(B) of Kir Hareseth.^(C)
8 The fields of Heshbon^(D) wither,^(E)
    the vines of Sibmah^(F) also.
The rulers of the nations
    have trampled down the choicest vines,^(G)
which once reached Jazer^(H)
    and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out^(I)
    and went as far as the sea.^[a](J)
9 So I weep,^(K) as Jazer weeps,
    for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,^(L)
    I drench you with tears!^(M)
The shouts of joy^(N) over your ripened fruit
    and over your harvests^(O) have been stilled.
