25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure. 1
Moab will be trampled down where it stands, 2
as a heap of straw is trampled down in 3 a manure pile.
65:11 But as for you who abandon the Lord
and forget about worshiping at 4 my holy mountain,
who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’ 5
and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’ 6 –
