6. We have heard of the pride of Moab—how proud he is!— of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;in his idle boasting he is not right.
7. Therefore let Moab wail for Moab, let everyone wail.Mourn, utterly stricken,for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth.
8. For the fields of Heshbon languish,and the vine of Sibmah;the lords of the nationshave struck down its branches,which reached to Jazerand strayed to the desert;its shoots spread abroadand passed over the sea.
9. Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazerfor the vine of Sibmah;I drench you with my tears,O Heshbon and Elealeh;for over your summer fruit and your harvestthe shout has ceased.
