Jeremiah 48:31

Read in context

Jeremiah 48:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.

30 I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.

31 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.

32 I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.

33 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
