Context Readings

Moab's Hopeless Situation

10 And removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused to cease. 11 Therefore my bowels for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine inward parts for Kir-Haresh. 12 And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
