Context Readings

Moab's Hopeless Situation

10 And gladness is taken away and joy out of the fertile field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be rejoicing: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage song to cease. 11 Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
12 And it shall come to pass when it is seen that Moab is weary upon the high places that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray, but he shall be unable to.
