23:016:011 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an
harp for Moab, and
mine
inward parts for Kirharesh.
23:016:012 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
that Moab is weary
on
the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary
to
pray;
but he shall not prevail.
23:016:013 This is the word that the lord hath
spoken concerning Moab
since
that time.
23:016:014 But now the lord hath spoken, saying,
Within three years, as
the
years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be
contemned,
with all that great multitude; and the remnant
shall
be very small and feeble.
23:017:001 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus
is taken away from
being
a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
23:017:002 The cities of Aroer are forsaken:
they shall be for flocks,
which
shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
23:017:003 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim,
and the kingdom
from
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall
be as the
glory
of the children of Israel, saith the lord of hosts.
23:017:004 And in that day it shall come to pass,
that the glory of Jacob
shall
be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax
lean.
23:017:005 And it shall be as when the harvestman
gathereth the corn, and
reapeth
the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that
gathereth
ears in the valley of Rephaim.
23:017:006 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it,
as the shaking of an
olive
tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost
bough,
four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof,
saith
the lord God of Israel.
23:017:007 At that day shall a man look to his Maker,
and his eyes shall
have
respect to the Holy One of Israel.
23:017:008 And he shall not look to the altars, the
work of his hands,
neither
shall respect that which his fingers have made, either
the
groves, or the images.
23:017:009 In that day shall his strong cities be
as a forsaken bough,
and
an uppermost branch, which they left because of the
children
of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
23:017:010 Because thou hast forgotten the God of
thy salvation, and hast
not
been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore
shalt
thou
plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange
slips:
23:017:011 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to
grow, and in the
morning
shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the
harvest
shall
be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
