Isaiah 16

1SendH7971 the lamb of the rulerH4910 of the landH776 from the rock to the wildernessH4057, — unto the mount of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 2And it shall beH1961 [that] as a wandering birdH5775, [as] a scattered nestH7064, so shall the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124 beH1961 at the fords of the ArnonH769. 3BringH935 in counselH6098, execute justice; makeH6213 thy shadowH6738 as the nightH3915 in the midstH8432 of noonday; hideH5641 the outcastsH5080, discover not the fugitiveH5074. 4Let mine outcastsH5080 dwell with thee, MoabH4124; be thou a covert to them from the faceH6440 of the waster. For the extortioner is at an endH3615, the wasting hath ceased, the oppressors are consumed out of the landH776. 5And a throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in mercy: and in the tentH168 of DavidH1732 there shall sitH3427 upon it, in truthH571, one judgingH8199 and seekingH1875 justiceH4941 and hastening righteousnessH6664. 6We have heardH8085 of the arrogance of MoabH4124, — [he is] veryH3966 proud, — of his prideH1346, and his arrogance, and his wrathH5678: his pratings are vain. 7ThereforeH3651 shall MoabH4124 howl for MoabH4124; every one of them shall howl. For the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn, verily afflicted. 8For the fieldsH7709 of HeshbonH2809 languishH535, the vineH1612 of SibmahH7643; the lords of the nationsH1471 have broken down its choice plants: they reachedH5060 unto Jaazer, they wanderedH8582 [through] the wildernessH4057; its shoots stretched out, they wentH8582 beyond the seaH3220. 9ThereforeH3651 I will weepH1058 with the weepingH1065 of Jaazer for the vineH1612 of SibmahH7643; with my tearsH1832 will I waterH7301 thee, HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500, for a cry is fallenH5307 upon thy summerH7019 fruits and upon thy harvestH7105. 10And joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 is taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyardsH3754 there is no singing, neither is there shoutingH7321: the treaders treadH1869 out no wineH3196 in the presses, I have made the cryH7321 [of the winepressH3342] to ceaseH7673. 11ThereforeH3651 my bowelsH4578 sound like a harpH3658 for MoabH4124, and mine inwardH7130 partsH4578 for Kirheres. 12And it shall comeH935 to pass, when MoabH4124 shall appearH7200, shall wearyH3811 himself on the highH1116 placeH1116, and enter into his sanctuaryH4720 to prayH6419, that he shall not prevailH3201. 13This is the wordH1697 which Jehovah hath spokenH1696 from of old concerningH413 MoabH4124. 14And nowH6258 Jehovah speaketh sayingH559, Within threeH7969 yearsH8141, as the yearsH8141 of a hired servant, and the gloryH3519 of MoabH4124 shall be brought to nothing, with all that greatH7227 multitudeH1995; and the remnantH7605 shall be smallH4592, fewH4592, of no account.
