Isaiah 16

1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: isnot the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock? 2 For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown:even you shall beso, daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon, 3 take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darknessat mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive. 4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from theface of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished fromoff the earth. 5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth inthe tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness. 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecyshall not be thus,no not thus. 7 Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them thatdwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed. 8 The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trampleyou⌃ her vines, even to Jazer: you⌃ shall not come together; wander you⌃ in the desert: they that weresent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea. 9 Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon andEleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and allyour plants shall fall. 10 And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall notat all tread wine into the vats; forthe vintage has ceased. 11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward partsas a wall. 12 And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars,) that he shall goin to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him. 13 This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke. 14 And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall bedishonoredwith all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honored.
