# Isaiah 16 (New King James Version)
|
|
Moab Destroyed
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 16
|
|
###### 1 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,
|
|
From Sela to the wilderness,
|
|
To the mount of the daughter of Zion.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest;
|
|
_So_ shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.
|
|
|
|
###### 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.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Let 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.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 In mercy the throne will be established;
|
|
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
|
|
Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness."
|
|
|
|
###### 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab--
|
|
_He is_ very proud--
|
|
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
|
|
_But_ his lies _shall_ not _be_ so.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Therefore Moab shall wail for Moab;
|
|
Everyone shall wail.
|
|
For the foundations of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
|
|
Surely _they are_ stricken.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
|
|
_And_ the 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 sea.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
|
|
With the weeping of Jazer;
|
|
I will drench you with my tears,
|
|
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
|
|
For battle cries have fallen
|
|
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Gladness 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.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Therefore my heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
|
|
And my inner being for Kir Heres.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 And it shall come to pass,
|
|
When it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place,
|
|
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
|
|
But he will not prevail.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 This _is_ the word which the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time.
|
|
###### 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as 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."
