10. Joy and happiness have been harvested from the farmland,and in the vineyards no one sings, no one shouts.No treader crushes grapes in the wine vats;I have brought the cheers to an end.
11. Therefore, my heart plays sadly like a harp for Moab,my inner being for Kir-heres.
12. Even if Moab presents himself,and Moab wears himself out going to the shrine,and comes to his sanctuary to pray,he won’t prevail.
13. This is the word that the Lord had spoken concerning Moab long ago.
14. But now the Lord has said: In three years, like the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab, with all its great multitude, will dwindle. The small remnant will be few and feeble.
