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.
