Jeremiah 48:32-34
International Standard Version
32 More than the weeping for Jazer,[a]
I’ll weep for you, vine of Sibmah.[b]
Your branches spread out to the sea,
and reached as far as the Sea of Jazer.[c]
On your summer fruit and grapes[d]
the destroyer will fall.
33 Gladness and rejoicing will be taken away
from the fruitful land.[e]
From the land of Moab I’ll cause the wine
in the wine presses to stop flowing.[f]
The workers won’t tread[g] the grapes with a loud shout.[h]
There will be no shout!
34 “From the cry of Heshbon, to Elealeh, to Jahaz they have lifted up their voice. From Zoar to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah, even the waters of Nimrim will become a desolate place.
