Isa 16
1 The Destruction of Moab
I will send a male lamb lording over the land; [
2not
9rock
8a desolate
1is
3the
4mountain
5of the
6daughter
7of Zion]?
2For you shall be as [
2winged creature
3flying about
1a young] being removed, O daughter of Moab; and thereupon, O Arnon.
3Much counsel, [
3make
1and also
4a protection
5for her mourning
2always]; [
3at
4midday
2darkness
1they flee]; they are startled; do not celebrate.
4[
4shall sojourn
5with you
1The
2exiles
3of Moab]; they will be a protection for you from
the face of the one pursuing; for [
2was lifted away
1your alliance in war], and the [
2ruler
3perished
1trampling] from the earth.
5And [
2shall be set right
3with
4mercy
1a throne]; and one shall sit upon it with truth in
the tent of David, judging and inquiring of equity, and hastening righteousness.
6We heard the insult of Moab -- insulting exceedingly; the pride and his insult and his vehement anger; not so your divination.
7Moab shall shriek; for in the
land of Moab all shall shriek. [
2among
3the ones
4dwelling
1But] Seth you shall meditate upon, and you shall not be ashamed.
8The plains of Heshbon shall mourn
the grapevine of Sibmah. Swallowing down the nations, trampling her grapevines, unto Jazer in no way shall you join together. Wander the wilderness! The ones being sent from her were abandoned, for they passed over the sea.
9On account of this I shall weep as the one weeping of Jazer
for the grapevine of Sibmah; [
5your trees
4cast down
1Heshbon
2and
3Elealeh]; for upon the harvest and upon the gathering of your crops I shall trample, and all shall fall.
10And [
4shall be lifted away
1gladness
2and
3the leap for joy] from the vineyards; and in your vineyards in no way shall they be glad; and in no way shall they tread wine in the wine-vats; for
the vintage has been ceased.
11On account of this my belly [
4for
5Moab
2as
3a harp
1shall sound], and [
2the
things 3within me
4as
5a wall
1you renewed].
12And it shall be for your feeling of shame (for Moab tired upon the shrines) that he shall enter unto the handmade
things of hers so as to pray; and in no way should
they be able to rescue her.
13This
is the saying which
the LORD spoke against Moab.
14And now
the LORD spoke, saying, In three years, of
the years of a hireling, [
4shall be dishonored
1the
2glory
3of Moab] in all the [
2richness
1much]; and [
2shall be left behind
1very few], and not
the important.
