Context Readings

Moab's Hopeless Situation

10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards. No one sings or shouts in the vineyards! No one treads out wine at the presses, for I have put an end to the shouting. 11 Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
12 When the people of Moab appear at the worship site, they will only wear themselves out. They will come into the holy place to pray, but they will not be able to.
