15 H3947 [H8798] But now bring H5059 [H8764] me a minstrel. H5059 [H8764] And it came to pass, when the minstrel H5059 [H8763] played, H3027 that the hand H3068 of the LORD came upon him.

16 H559 [H8799] And he said, H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD, H6213 [H8800] Make H5158 this valley H1356 full of ditches.

17 H559 [H8804] For thus saith H3068 the LORD, H7200 [H8799] Ye shall not see H7307 wind, H7200 [H8799] neither shall ye see H1653 rain; H5158 yet that valley H4390 [H8735] shall be filled H4325 with water, H8354 [H8804] that ye may drink, H4735 both ye, and your cattle, H929 and your beasts.

18 H7043 [H8738] And this is but a light thing H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD: H5414 [H8804] he will give H4124 the Moabites H3027 also into your hand.
