Isaiah 16
Revised Version 1895
1SendH7971 ye the lambsH3733 for the rulerH4910 of the landH776 from SelaH5554 whichH2022 is towardH413 the wildernessH4057, unto the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 2For it shall be that, as wandering birdsH5775, as a scatteredH7971 nestH7064, soH7971 shall the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124 be at the fords of ArnonH769. 3GiveH935 counselH6098, execute judgmentH935; makeH6213 thy shadowH6738 as the nightH3915 in the midstH8432 of the noonday: hideH5641 the outcastsH5080; bewray notH408 the wanderer. 4Let mineH4480 outcastsH5080 dwellH1481 with thee; as for MoabH4124, be thou a covert to him from the faceH6440 of the spoiler: for the extortioner is broughtH3615 to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressorsH7429 are consumedH3615 outH4480 of the landH776. 5And a throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in mercy, and one shall sitH3427 thereonH5921 in truthH571, in the tentH168 of DavidH1732; judgingH8199, and seekingH1875 judgmentH4941, and swift to do righteousnessH6664. 6WeH8085 have heardH8085 of the prideH1346 of MoabH4124, that he is veryH3966 proudH1346; evenH3808 of his arrogancy, and his prideH1346, and his wrathH5678; his boastings are nought. 7Therefore shall MoabH4124 howlH3213 for MoabH4124, everyH3605 one shall howlH3213: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-haresethH7025 shall ye mourn, utterlyH389 stricken. 8For the fieldsH7709 of HeshbonH2809 languishH535, and the vineH1612 of SibmahH7643; the lordsH1167 of the nationsH1471 have brokenH5674 downH5060 the choiceH8291 plants thereof; they reachedH5060 evenH5704 unto JazerH3270, they wanderedH8582 intoH3220 the wildernessH4057; herH5060 branches were spreadH5203 abroad, they passedH5674 over the seaH3220. 9Therefore I will weepH1058 with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270 for the vineH1612 of SibmahH7643: I will waterH7301 thee with my tearsH1832, O HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500: for uponH5921 thy summerH7019 fruits and uponH5921 thy harvestH7105 the battle shoutH1959 is fallenH5307. 10And gladnessH8057 is takenH622 awayH622, and joyH8057 outH4480 of the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759; and in the vineyardsH3754 there shall be noH3808 singing, neitherH3808 joyful noise: noH3808 treaderH1869 shall treadH1869 outH4480 wineH3196 in the pressesH3342; I have made the vintage shoutH7321 to ceaseH7673. 11Wherefore my bowelsH4578 sound like an harpH3658 for MoabH4124, and mine inwardH7130 partsH4578 for Kir-heresH7025. 12And it shall comeH935 to passH935, when MoabH4124 presenteth himselfH413, when he wearieth himselfH413 uponH5921 the highH1116 placeH1116, and shall comeH935 to his sanctuaryH4720 to prayH6419, that he shall notH3808 prevailH3201. 13This is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spake concerning MoabH4124 in time past. 14But nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, sayingH559, Within threeH7969 yearsH8141, as the yearsH8141 of an hireling, and the gloryH3519 of MoabH4124 shall be brought into contempt, with allH3605 his greatH7227 multitudeH1995; and the remnantH7605 shall be veryH4213 smallH4592 and of noH3808 account.
