    Moab has been undisturbed
    and never has gone into exile.
It has been like wine settled on its lees
    that has never been transferred
    from one decanter to another.

    when I will send men to him
    to tilt the jars.

    as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel[a]
    in which they placed their trust.
