Jeremiah 48:31-36
So now I wail for Moab; yes, I will mourn for Moab. My heart is broken for the men of Kir hareseth.“ You people of Sibmah, rich in vineyards, I will weep for you even more than I did for Jazer. Your spreading vines once reached as far as the Dead Sea, but the destroyer has stripped you bare! He has harvested your grapes and summer fruits.Joy and gladness are gone from fruitful Moab. The presses yield no wine. No one treads the grapes with shouts of joy. There is shouting, yes, but not of joy.“ Instead, their awful cries of terror can be heard from Heshbon clear across to Elealeh and Jahaz; from Zoar all the way to Horonaim and Eglath shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up now.“ I will put an end to Moab,” says the Lord,“ for the people offer sacrifices at the pagan shrines and burn incense to their false gods.My heart moans like a flute for Moab and Kir hareseth, for all their wealth has disappeared.

But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”

There will be no singing in the vineyards, no more happy shouts, no treading of grapes in the winepresses. I have ended all their harvest joys.My heart’s cry for Moab is like a lament on a harp. I am filled with anguish for Kir hareseth.
