32 More than the (A)weeping for (B)Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your tendrils stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
33 So (C)joy and rejoicing are removed
From the fruitful field, and from the land of Moab.
And I have (D)eliminated the wine from the wine presses;
No one will tread them with shouting,
The shouting will not be shouts of joy.

34 (E)From the outcry at Heshbon to (F)Elealeh, to Jahaz they have [a]raised their voice, from (G)Zoar to Horonaim, and to Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate.

32 I weep for you, as Jazer(A) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.(B)
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(C) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.(D)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.

34 “The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon(E) to Elealeh(F) and Jahaz,(G)
from Zoar(H) as far as Horonaim(I) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
    for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.(J)
