Isaiah
Chapter 16
1
Send you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela
to
the desert/wilderness,
unto
the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2
For it shall be, that,
as
a wandering bird cast out of the nest,
so
the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3
Take counsel,
execute
judgment.
Make your shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday.
Hide the outcasts.
Bewray not him who wanders.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you, Moab.
Be you a covert to them from the face of the spoiler.
For
the extortioner is at an end,
the
spoiler ceases,
the
oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be established.
And
he shall sit upon it in truth
in
the tabernacle of David,
judging,
and
seeking judgment,
and
having righteousness.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab.
He is very proud.
Even
of his haughtiness,
and
his pride,
and
his wrath.
But his lies shall not be so.
7
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab,
every
one shall howl.
For the foundations of Kirhareseth shall you mourn.
Surely they are stricken.
8
For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and
the vine of Sibmah.
The
lords of the heathen have broken down
the
principal plants thereof,
they
have come even unto Jazer,
they
wandered through the dessert/wilderness.
Her
branches are stretched out,
they
are gone over the sea.
9
Therefore I will bewail
with
the weeping of Jazer
the
vine of Sibmah.
I will water you with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh.
For
the shouting for your summer fruits
and
for your harvest is fallen.
10
And gladness is taken away,
and
joy out of the plentiful field.
And
in the vineyards
there
shall be no singing.
Neither shall there be shouting.
The treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses.
I have made their vintage shouting to cease.
11
Wherefore My emotions/distress/love/bowels {me`ah}
shall
sound like an harp for Moab,
and
My 'seat of emotional thought'/'inward parts' {qereb}
for
Kirharesh.
12
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.
13
This is the word that Jehovah/God
has
spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14
But now Jehovah/God has spoken, saying,
"Within
three years,
as
the years of an hireling,
and
the glory of Moab shall be contemned,
with
all that great multitude.
And the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
