Moab's Hopeless Situation
10 Mirth and cheer was gone out of the field and vineyards, insomuch that no man was glad nor sung. There went no treader into the winepress, their merry cheer was laid down. 11 Wherefore my belly rumbled as it had been a lute for Moab's sake, and mine inward members for the brick wall's sake. 12 And it shall come to pass, that when it is seen that Moab shall be made weary of his hill-chapels, he shall come to his temple to pray - but he shall not be made able.
