King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
11
My heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir Hareseth.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall 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 that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
13
This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning Moab.
14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
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.”
