When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.
Context
10Furaha na shangwe zimeondolewa
kutoka mashamba ya matunda;
hakuna yeyote aimbaye wala apazaye sauti
katika mashamba ya mizabibu;
hakuna yeyote akanyagaye zabibu shinikizoni,
kwa kuwa nimekomesha makelele. 11Moyo wangu unaomboleza kwa ajili ya Moabu kama kinubi,
nafsi yangu yote kwa ajili ya Kir-Haresethi. 12Wakati Moabu anapojitokeza mahali pake pa juu,
anajichosha mwenyewe tu;
anapokwenda mahali pake pa kuabudia miungu ili kuomba,
haitamfaidi lolote. 13Hili ndilo neno ambalo Bwana ameshasema kuhusu Moabu. 14Lakini sasa Bwana anasema: “Katika miaka mitatu, kama vile mtumishi aliyefungwa na mkataba angeihesabu, fahari ya Moabu na watu wake wengi watadharauliwa, nao walionusurika watakuwa wachache sana, tena wanyonge.”
