Isaiah 16

NASB

 

Isaiah 16:1
& Send the {tribute} lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Isaiah 16:2
& Then, like fleeing birds {or} scattered nestlings, The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.
Isaiah 16:3
& "Give {us} advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
Isaiah 16:4
& "Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely {disappeared} from the land.
Isaiah 16:5
& A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.
Isaiah 16:6
& We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride; {Even} of his arrogance, pride, and fury; His idle boasts are false.
Isaiah 16:7
& Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.
Isaiah 16:8
& For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah {as well;} The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters Which reached as far as Jazer {and} wandered to the deserts; Its tendrils spread themselves out {and} passed over the sea.
Isaiah 16:9
& Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.
Isaiah 16:10
& Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No treader treads out wine in the presses, {For} I have made the shouting to cease.
Isaiah 16:11
& Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
Isaiah 16:12
& So it will come about when Moab presents himself, When he wearies himself upon {his} high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.
Isaiah 16:13
& This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
Isaiah 16:14
& But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all {his} great population, and {his} remnant will be very small {and} impotent."
