For (B)by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,

25 Then they destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees. But they left the stones of (A)Kir Haraseth intact. However the slingers surrounded and attacked it.

36 Therefore (A)My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore (B)the riches they have acquired have perished.

Therefore Moab shall (A)wail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations (B)of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken.

For (C)the fields of Heshbon languish,
And (D)the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the (E)sea.
Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
(F)O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For [a]battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.

10 (G)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.
11 Therefore (H)my [b]heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for [c]Kir Heres.
