Isaiah 16:12

Moab's Hopeless Situation

¹¹ Therefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab and my inward parts for Kirharesh. ¹² So it will come about when Moab presents himself,
When he wearies himself upon his high place
And comes to his sanctuary to pray,
That he will not prevail. ¹³ This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning Moab since that time.
