33. Harvest celebrations are gonefrom the orchards and farmsof Moab.There are no happy shoutsfrom people making wine.
34. Weeping from Heshboncan be heard as faras Elealeh and Jahaz;cries from Zoar are heardin Horonaimand Eglath-Shelishiyah.And Nimrim Brook has run dry.
35. I will get rid of anyonewho burns incenseto the gods of Moabor offers sacrificesat their shrines.I, the Lord, have spoken.
36. In my heart I moan for Moab,like a funeral songplayed on a flute.I mourn for the peopleof the town of Kir-Heres,because their wealth is gone.
37-38. The people of Moabmourn on the rooftopsand in the streets.Men cut off their beards,people shave their heads;they make cuts on their handsand wear sackcloth.And it's all because I, the Lord,have shattered Moab like a jarthat no one wants.
39. Moab lies broken!Listen to its people cryas they turn away in shame.Other nations are horrifiedat what happened,but still they laugh.
