For the fields of (A)Heshbon have [a]withered, the vines of (B)Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
(C)Its [b]tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.
Therefore I will (D)weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
I will drench you with my tears, (E)Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the shouting over your (F)summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.
10 (G)Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;
In the (H)vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No (I)treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.
11 Therefore my [c](J)inner being sounds like a harp for Moab.
And my [d]heart for Kir-hareseth.
12 So it will come about when Moab (K)presents himself,
When he (L)tires himself upon his (M)high place
And comes to his sanctuary to pray,
That he will not prevail.

13 This is the word which the Lord spoke earlier concerning Moab. 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as [e](N)a hired worker would count them, the glory of (O)Moab will become contemptible along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and [f]impotent.”

The fields of Heshbon(A) wither,(B)
    the vines of Sibmah(C) also.
The rulers of the nations
    have trampled down the choicest vines,(D)
which once reached Jazer(E)
    and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(F)
    and went as far as the sea.[a](G)
So I weep,(H) as Jazer weeps,
    for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(I)
    I drench you with tears!(J)
The shouts of joy(K) over your ripened fruit
    and over your harvests(L) have been stilled.
10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards;(M)
    no one sings or shouts(N) in the vineyards;
no one treads(O) out wine at the presses,(P)
    for I have put an end to the shouting.
11 My heart laments for Moab(Q) like a harp,(R)

12 When Moab appears at her high place,(T)
    she only wears herself out;
when she goes to her shrine(U) to pray,
    it is to no avail.(V)

13 This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab. 14 But now the Lord says: “Within three years,(W) as a servant bound by contract(X) would count them,(Y) Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised,(Z) and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”(AA)

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.
