is
taken
away,

joy out

vineyards
there
shall
be
no singing,

there be
shouting:
the
treaders
shall tread
out
no wine
in
their
presses;
I
have
made
their
vintage shouting
to
cease.
Wherefore
my
bowels
shall
sound like
an
harp
for
Moab,
an mine
inward
parts
for
Kirharesh.
An it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
it
is
seen
that
Moab
is
weary on

come
to

sanctuary
to
pray;
but
he shall
not
prevail.

against

cleaveth

afflict

four
hundred years;
An also

nation,

shall
serve,
will
I
judge:
an afterward
shall
they
come out
with
great
substance.
***
But
yet
in

be

tenth,

return,

shall
be
eaten:
as
