< Isaiah 16 >

1 Send a lamb [the] ruler of [the] land from Sela [the] wilderness towards to [the] mountain of [the] daughter of Zion. 2 And it will be like a bird fluttering a nest sent away they will be [the] daughters of Moab [the] fords of Arnon. 3 (Bring *Qk) counsel make a decision make like night shade your in [the] middle of [the] noon hide outcasts a fugitive may not you expose. 4 Let them sojourn among you outcasts my Moab be a shelter of them from before [the] destroyer if he will come to an end the oppressor it will cease devastation they will be finished [the] trampler from the land. 5 And it will be established in covenant loyalty a throne and he will sit on it in faithfulness in [the] tent of David [one who] judges and [one who] seeks justice and [one] prompt of righteousness. 6 We have heard [the] pride of Moab proud very haughtiness its and pride its and arrogance its [are] not right empty boasts its. 7 Therefore it will wail Moab for Moab all of it it will wail for [the] raisin-cakes of Kir Hareseth you will groan only stricken people. 8 For [the] fields of Heshbon it has withered [the] vine[s] of Sibmah rulers of nations they have struck down choice grapes its to Jazer they reached they wandered [the] wilderness shoots its they were spread out they passed over [the] sea. 9 There-fore I weep with [the] weeping of Jazer [the] vine[s] of Sibmah I water abundantly you tear[s] my O Heshbon and Elealeh for on summer fruit your and on harvest your shouting it has fallen. 10 And it will be removed gladness and rejoicing from the orchard and in the vineyards not anything will be sung not anything will be shouted wine in the wine-presses not he will tread the treader shouting I have made to cease. 11 There-fore inward parts my for Moab like harp they make a sound and inner being my for Kir Heres. 12 And it will be that it has presented itself if it has wearied itself Moab on the high place and it will come to sanctuary its to pray and not it will prevail. 13 This [is] the word which he has spoken Yahweh concerning Moab from then. 14 And now he says Yahweh saying in three years like [the] years of a hired laborer and it will be lightly esteemed [the] honor of Moab for all the multitude great and a remnant little smallness not [will be] mighty.
