A Message Concerning Moab
9 Make a token unto Moab, that she get her away speedily: for her cities shall be made so desolate, that no man shall dwell therein. 10 Cursed be he that doth the work of the LORD negligently; and cured be he that keepeth back his sword from shedding of blood. 11 Moab hath ever been rich and careless from her youth up, she hath sitten and taken her ease with her treasure. She was never yet put out of one vessel into another, that is, she never went away into captivity, therefore her taste remaineth, and her savour is not yet changed.
