New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
11 Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
11
My heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir Hareseth.
12 So it will come about when Moab presents himself, When he wearies himself upon his high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.
12
When Moab appears at her high place, she only wears herself out; when she goes to her shrine to pray, it is to no avail.
13 This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
13
This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning Moab.
14 But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent ."
14
But now the LORD says: “Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”
