8 The plains of Heshbon shall mourn, and the vine of Sibmah; swallowing up the nations, tread ye down her vines, unto Jazer; ye shall not reach, nor wander in the wilderness; they that were sent forth were forsaken; for they crossed over the desert.

9 Therefore will I weep as the weeping of Jazer, for the vine ’ of Sibmah; he cast down thy trees, Heshbon, and <Elealeh>; upon thy harvest and thy vintage will I tread, and all shall fall.

10 And joy shall be removed, and exultation, from thy vineyards, and in thy vineyards shall they not rejoice; and they shall not tread wine into the vats, for it is ceased.

11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp upon Moab, and ’ mine inward-parts like a wall which thou didst newly build.

12 And it shall be, as to thy paying reverence, Moab is grown weary at the altars, she shall also enter in unto the works of hands so as to. pray, and shall not be able to deliver him.

13 This (is) the word that the Lord spake concerning Moab, what time he also spake.

14 And now I say, Within three years, of the years of a hireling, shall the glory of Moab be dishonoured with all (his) much wealth, and shall be left very small and not honourable.
