For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain; +And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped. +For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres. +And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect. +This is the word which the Lord said about Moab in the past. +But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour. -- cgit v1.2.3
