Isaias

10 And joy shall be removed, and exultation, from thy vineyards, and in thy vineyards shall they not rejoice; and they shall not tread wine into the vats, for it is ceased.

11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp upon Moab, and ’ mine inward-parts like a wall which thou didst newly build.

12 And it shall be, as to thy paying reverence, Moab is grown weary at the altars, she shall also enter in unto the works of hands so as to. pray, and shall not be able to deliver him.

13 This (is) the word that the Lord spake concerning Moab, what time he also spake.

14 And now I say, Within three years, of the years of a hireling, shall the glory of Moab be dishonoured with all (his) much wealth, and shall be left very small and not honourable.

XVII. 1 The word against Damascus.

Behold, Damascus shall be removed from (among) cities, and shall become a ruin,

2 Deserted for ever, for a place for flocks to lie down and herds to rest, and there shall be none that chaseth them.

3 And no longer shall it be strong, for Ephraim to take refuge; and no longer there be a kingdom in Damascus, and the remnant of the Syrians: for thou art not better than the sons of Israel, and their glory.

4 Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, There shall be in that day a failing of the glory of Jacob, and the fat things of his glory shall be shaken.
