Jeremiah 48:29-36

Modern English Version

²⁹ We have heard of the pride of Moab
    (he is very proud),
of his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride,
    and the haughtiness of his heart.
³⁰ I know his wrath,
    says the Lord,
    but it is futile. His lies have accomplished nothing.
³¹ Therefore I will howl for Moab,
    and I will cry out for all Moab.
    My heart shall mourn for the men of Kir Hareseth.
³² O vine of Sibmah,
    I will weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer.
Your plants have stretched over the sea,
    they reach even to the sea of Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruits
    and upon your vintage.
³³ Joy and gladness are taken away
    from the plentiful field, even from the land of Moab,
and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses;
    no one will tread with shouting.
    Their shouting will not be shouts of joy.

³⁴ From the outcry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, and even to Jahaz,
    they have uttered their voice,
from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath Shelishiyah;
    for also the waters of Nimrim shall become desolate.
³⁵ Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,
    says the Lord,
    him who offers sacrifice in the high place
    and him who burns incense to his gods.

³⁶ Therefore My heart will wail for Moab like pipes,
    and My heart will wail like pipes for the men of Kir Hareseth,
    because the riches that they have gotten have perished.
