⁸ The Lord has sworn^(A) by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain^(B)
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
⁹ but those who harvest it will eat^(C) it
    and praise the Lord,^(D)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”^(E)

³³ Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine^(A) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.^(B)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.

⁸ The Lord determined to tear down
    the wall around Daughter Zion.^(A)
He stretched out a measuring line^(B)
    and did not withhold his hand from destroying.
He made ramparts^(C) and walls lament;
    together they wasted away.^(D)

⁹ Her gates^(E) have sunk into the ground;
    their bars^(F) he has broken and destroyed.
Her king and her princes are exiled^(G) among the nations,
    the law^(H) is no more,
and her prophets^(I) no longer find
    visions^(J) from the Lord.

¹⁰ The elders of Daughter Zion
    sit on the ground in silence;^(K)
they have sprinkled dust^(L) on their heads^(M)
    and put on sackcloth.^(N)
The young women of Jerusalem
    have bowed their heads to the ground.^(O)

¹¹ My eyes fail from weeping,^(P)
    I am in torment within^(Q);
my heart^(R) is poured out^(S) on the ground
    because my people are destroyed,^(T)
because children and infants faint^(U)
    in the streets of the city.

¹² They say to their mothers,
    “Where is bread and wine?”^(V)
as they faint like the wounded
    in the streets of the city,
as their lives ebb away^(W)
    in their mothers’ arms.^(X)

⁹ “Therefore I will take away my grain^(E) when it ripens,
    and my new wine^(F) when it is ready.
I will take back my wool and my linen,
    intended to cover her naked body.

⁵ Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
    Wail, all you drinkers of wine;^(A)
wail because of the new wine,
    for it has been snatched^(B) from your lips.

¹⁰ The fields are ruined,
    the ground is dried up;^(A)
the grain is destroyed,
    the new wine^(B) is dried up,
    the olive oil fails.^(C)

¹¹ Despair, you farmers,^(D)
    wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,^(E)
    because the harvest of the field is destroyed.^(F)

¹¹ You levy a straw tax on the poor^(A)
    and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,^(B)
    you will not live in them;^(C)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
    you will not drink their wine.^(D)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
    and how great your sins.^(E)

There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes^(F)
    and deprive the poor^(G) of justice in the courts.^(H)
