33 And joy and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruitful land, even from the land of Moab. And the wine from the wine presses I have caused to disappear. He will not tread with exuberant shouts. Exuberant shouts will not be exuberant shouts.
34 From the cry for help of Heshbon, up to Elealeh, up to Jahaz, they give their voice, from Zoar up to Horonaim, up to Eglath-shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim have become as a desolation.
35 And I will cause to disappear for Moab,” declares Yahweh, “the one who presents a sacrifice at a high place, and the one who burns a smoke offering to his gods.
36 Therefore my heart moans for Moab like the flute. It moans for the people of Kir-heres like the flute. Therefore the wealth they gained has perished.
37 For on every head is baldness, and every beard is trimmed. On all the hands, slashes, and on the loins, sackcloth.
38 On all the roofs of Moab, and in its public squares, there is wailing everywhere. For I have broken Moab like a vessel, there is no delight in it,” declares Yahweh.
39 “How it is filled with terror! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is disgraced! So Moab has become as a derision, and as a terror for all his surrounding peoples.”
