Context Readings

Moab's Hopeless Situation

10 Joy and rejoicing have been removed from the orchard;
no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.
No one tramples grapes in the winepresses.
I have put an end to the shouting.
11 Therefore I moan like the sound of a lyre for Moab,
as does my innermost being for Kir-heres.
12 When Moab appears on the high place,
when he tires himself out
and comes to his sanctuary to pray,
it will do him no good.
