And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail—the futility of Moab's religious response to the crisis, with prayer proving ineffectual against divine judgment. The failure of religious practice to avert judgment suggests that such practice without righteousness is unavailing. This verse establishes that religion cannot substitute for righteousness.
