6We have heard of the pride of Moab—how very proud he is—of his arrogance, his pride, and his fury; his boasts are not so.

7Therefore Moab will wail for Moab; all of it will wail. You will moan for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth, utterly stricken.

8For the fields of Heshbon languish, the vine of Sibmah as well. The lords of the nations have struck down its choice vines; they reached as far as Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; its shoots spread out and crossed the sea.
