Jeremiah 48:31-36
31Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.132I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea;2 they reach even to Jazer.3 The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.33Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
34There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh;they raise their voices to Jahaz,from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah;for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35In Moab, declares the LORD,I will bring an endto those who make offerings on the high placesand burn incense to their gods.36Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab;it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres,because the wealth they acquired has perished.
