Isaiah 16:12 in Context — Isaiah 16

10 E foram tirados a alegria e o prazer do campo frutífero; e nas vinhas não se canta, nem grito de alegria se faz; o pisador não pisará as uvas nas prensas; eu pus fim aos clamores de alegria.

11 Por isso meus órgãos fazem ruído por Moabe como um harpa; e meu interior por Quir- Heres.

12 E será que, quando [o povo de] Moabe se apresentar e se cansar nos lugares altos, e entrarem em seus templo para orar, nada conseguirão.

13 Esta é a palavra que o SENHOR falou sobre Moabe desde então.

14 Mas agora [assim] fala o SENHOR, dizendo: Dentro de três anos, (tais como anos de empregado), então se tornará desprezível a glória de Moabe, com toda a sua grande multidão; e os restantes serão muito poucos e sem poder.
