# Chapter 16
|
|
1. Send lambs from Sela as tribute
|
|
to the ruler of the land.
|
|
Send them through the desert
|
|
to the mountain of beautiful Zion.
|
|
|
|
2. The women of Moab are left like homeless birds
|
|
at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River.
|
|
|
|
3. "Help us," they cry.
|
|
"Defend us against our enemies.
|
|
Protect us from their relentless attack.
|
|
Do not betray us now that we have escaped.
|
|
|
|
4. Let our refugees stay among you.
|
|
Hide them from our enemies until the terror is past."
|
|
When oppression and destruction have ended
|
|
and enemy raiders have disappeared,
|
|
|
|
5. then God will establish one of David's descendants as king.
|
|
He will rule with mercy and truth.
|
|
He will always do what is just
|
|
and be eager to do what is right.
|
|
|
|
6. We have heard about proud Moab--
|
|
about its pride and arrogance and rage.
|
|
But all that boasting has disappeared.
|
|
|
|
7. The entire land of Moab weeps.
|
|
Yes, everyone in Moab mourns
|
|
for the cakes of raisins from Kir-hareseth.
|
|
They are all gone now.
|
|
|
|
8. The farms of Heshbon are abandoned;
|
|
the vineyards at Sibmah are deserted.
|
|
The rulers of the nations have broken down Moab--
|
|
that beautiful grapevine.
|
|
Its tendrils spread north as far as the town of Jazer
|
|
and trailed eastward into the wilderness.
|
|
Its shoots reached so far west
|
|
that they crossed over the Dead Sea.
|
|
|
|
9. So now I weep for Jazer and the vineyards of Sibmah;
|
|
my tears will flow for Heshbon and Elealeh.
|
|
There are no more shouts of joy
|
|
over your summer fruits and harvest.
|
|
|
|
10. Gone now is the gladness,
|
|
gone the joy of harvest.
|
|
There will be no singing in the vineyards,
|
|
no more happy shouts,
|
|
no treading of grapes in the winepresses.
|
|
I have ended all their harvest joys.
|
|
|
|
11. My heart's cry for Moab is like a lament on a harp.
|
|
I am filled with anguish for Kir-hareseth.
|
|
|
|
12. The people of Moab will worship at their pagan shrines,
|
|
but it will do them no good.
|
|
They will cry to the gods in their temples,
|
|
but no one will be able to save them.
|
|
|
|
13. The LORD has already said these things about Moab in the past.
|
|
14. But now the LORD says, "Within three years, counting each day, the glory of Moab will be ended. From its great population, only a feeble few will be left alive."
