Yeshayah (Isaiah) 16
16
1Send a lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Tsiyon.
2And it shall be, like a wandering bird, a nest thrown out, so are the daughters of Mo’aḇ at the fords of Arnon.
3“Bring counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day; hide the outcasts, do not betray him who escapes.
4“Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Mo’aḇ; be a shelter to them from the face of the ravager. For the oppressor has met his end, destruction has ceased, those trampling down have perished from the land.
5“And in loving-commitment the throne shall be established. And One shall sit on it in truth, in the Tent of Dawiḏ, judging and seeking right-ruling, and speeding righteousness.”
6We have heard of the pride of Mo’aḇ – very proud – of his pride, his arrogance and his rage. His boastings are not true.
7So Mo’aḇ wails for Mo’aḇ, everyone wails. For the raisin-cakes of Qir Ḥareseth they moan. They are utterly smitten.
8For the fields of Ḥeshbon languish – the vine of Siḇmah. The masters of the nations have broken down its choice plants, which have reached to Ya‛zĕr and wandered through the wilderness. Her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9Therefore I bewail the vine of Siḇmah, with the weeping of Ya‛zĕr. I water you with my tears, O Ḥeshbon and El‛alĕh, for acclamation has fallen over your summer fruit and your harvest.
10Gladness is taken away, and joy from the orchard; in the vineyards there is no singing, nor shouting; No treaders tread out wine in their presses; I have made their acclamation cease.
11Therefore my inward parts sound like a lyre for Mo’aḇ, and my inner being for Qir Ḥeres.
12And it shall be, when it is seen that Mo’aḇ has wearied herself on the high place, that she shall come to her set-apart place to pray, but not be able.
13This is the word which יהוה has spoken concerning Mo’aḇ since that time.
14But now יהוה has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the esteem of Mo’aḇ is to be despised with all its great throng, and the remnant be few, small and weak.”

Isaiah 16
16
Moab Destroyed
1Send #2 Kin. 3:4; Ezra 7:17the lamb to the ruler of the land,
#2 Kin. 14:7; Is. 42:11From Sela to the wilderness,
To the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2For it shall be as a #Prov. 27:8wandering bird thrown out of the nest;
So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the #Num. 21:13Arnon.
3“Take counsel, execute judgment;
Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day;
Hide the outcasts,
Do not betray him who escapes.
4Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Moab;
Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler.
For the extortioner is at an end,
Devastation ceases,
The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5In mercy #(Is. 9:6, 7; 32:1; 55:4; Dan. 7:14; Mic. 4:7; Luke 1:33; Rev. 11:15)the throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
#Ps. 72:2Judging and seeking justice and hastening #Is. 9:7righteousness.”
6We have heard of the #Jer. 48:29; Amos 2:1; Obad. 3, 4; Zeph. 2:8, 10pride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
#Is. 28:15But his lies shall not be so.
7Therefore Moab shall #Jer. 48:20wail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations #2 Kin. 3:25; Jer. 48:31of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken.
8For #Is. 24:7the fields of Heshbon languish,
And #Is. 16:9the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the #Jer. 48:32sea.
9Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
#Is. 15:4O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
10#Is. 24:8; Jer. 48:33Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.
11Therefore #Is. 15:5; 63:15; Jer. 48:36; Hos. 11:8; Phil. 2:1my heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for Kir Heres.
12And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on #Is. 15:2the high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.
13This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time. 14But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, #Job 7:1; 14:6; Is. 21:16as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
