|
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from
Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 16:3 |
|
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow
as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that
wandereth. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 16:4 |
|
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be
thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at
an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 16:5 |
|
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 hasting righteousness. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 16:6 |

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. |

|
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one
shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are
stricken. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:8 |
|
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the
vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants
thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness:
her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:9 |
|
Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of
Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh:
for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:11 |
|
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp
for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:13 |
|
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning
Moab since that time. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 16:14 |
|
But now the LORD hath 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. |
