摩押人上丘坛祭拜，却落得筋疲力尽；在庙宇里祷告，却毫无用处。

And when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, when he comes to his sanctuary to pray, he will not prevail.

The people of Moab will worship at their pagan shrines, but it will do them no good. They will cry to the gods in their temples, but no one will be able to save them.

Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt- offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to defy the living God.Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou Jehovah art God alone.

And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt- offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee.
