31 (A)Therefore I wail for Moab;
    I cry out for all Moab;
    for the men of (B)Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for (C)Jazer I weep for you,
    (D)O vine of (E)Sibmah!
(F)Your branches passed over the sea,
    reached to the Sea of (G)Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
    the destroyer has fallen.
33 (H)Gladness and joy have been taken away
    from the fruitful land of Moab;
I have made the wine cease from the winepresses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy;
    the shouting is not the shout of joy.

31 Therefore I wail(A) over Moab,
    for all Moab I cry out,
    I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.(B)
32 I weep for you, as Jazer(C) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(D)
Your branches spread as far as the sea[a];
    they reached as far as[b] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
    on your ripened fruit and grapes.
33 Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine(E) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(F)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.
