Isaiah 16

CHAPTER 16 The Destruction of Moab

1 I will send a male lamb lording over the land; [²not ⁹rock ⁸a desolate ¹is ³the ⁴mountain ⁵of the ⁶daughter ⁷of Zion]? 2 For you shall be as [²winged creature ³flying about ¹a young] being removed, O daughter of Moab; and thereupon, O Arnon. 3 Much 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. 5 And [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. 6 We heard the insult of Moab -- insulting exceedingly; the pride and his insult and his vehement anger; not so your divination. 7 Moab 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. 8 The 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. 9 On 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. 10 And [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. 11 On account of this my belly [⁴for ⁵Moab ²as ³a harp ¹shall sound], and [²the things ³within me ⁴as ⁵a wall ¹you renewed]. 12 And 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. 13 This is the saying which the lord spoke against Moab. 14 And 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.
