11. Moab hath been fruitful from his youth, and hath rested upon his lees: and hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, nor hath gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

24. And upon Carioth, and upon Bosra: and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
