The LORD has already said all this about Moab.
It's useless for Moab's people to wear themselves out by going to their altars to worship and pray.
Now he says, “The contract of a hired worker is good for three years, but Moab's glory and greatness won't last any longer than that. Only a few of its people will survive, and they will be left helpless.”
Don't tremble with fear! Didn't I tell you long ago? Didn't you hear me? I alone am God— no one else is a mighty rock.
