In context

10Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.

11Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.

12When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.

13This is the message that the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.

14And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”
