A Message Concerning Moab

10 Accursed be he that doeth the business of Yahweh carelessly; And, accursed be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood! 11 Moab, hath been at ease from his youth, And settled is he upon his lees, And hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, Nor into captivity, hath gone, - For this cause, hath his flavour stood still within him, And his scent is unchanged. 12 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will send to him tilters and they shall tilt him, - And his vessels, shall they empty, And their jars, shall they dash in pieces.
