Thematic Bible



O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.

O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.


The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.

The conies are only a feeble people, but they make their houses in the rocks;


... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.

On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.


Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young?
