Moab has been left quiet since his youth,
settled like wine on its dregs.
He hasn’t been poured from one container to another
or gone into exile.
So his taste has remained the same,
and his aroma hasn’t changed.

they again did what was evil in Your sight.

who dominated them.
When they cried out to You again,
You heard from heaven and rescued them
many times in Your compassion.
