We have heard that the people of Moab
    are very proud and conceited.
They are hot-tempered braggers,
    but their boasts are only empty words.
Because of their pride, everyone in Moab will mourn.
    They will wish for the way things used to be.
    They will wish for the raisin cakes from Kir Hareseth.[a]
The fields of Heshbon and the vines of Sibmah no longer grow grapes.
    Foreign rulers have destroyed the vines.
The enemy has reached Jazer
    and has spread into the desert and down to the sea.[b]
