Jeremiah 48:31-36

31So I am sad for Moab. I am crying for all their people. I weep for the people of Kir-Heres.

32I weep for the vines of Sibmah, more than Jazer weeps. The branches of those vines reached across the sea as far as Jazer. But the cruel enemy will destroy all the fruit that grows on your vines and trees.

33People will no longer be happy in the land where this fruit grows. I will stop them making wine from their grapes. They will not stamp on their grapes and shout with joy. Instead, the shouts will be shouts about trouble.

34In Heshbon and Elealeh people cry out because of their pain. The noise reaches as far as Jahaz. It reaches from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-Shelishiyah. Even the Nimrim river has become dry.’

35The Lord says this: ‘I will remove the people of Moab who worship other gods. They offer sacrifices to them and they burn incense at their altars.

36So I am very sad for the people of Moab. I weep like a flute that plays a funeral song. I am sad for the people of Kir-Heres, because all their riches will disappear.
