Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 016
016:001
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the
nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon
016:002
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night
in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him
that wandereth
016:003
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to
them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at
an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out
of the land
016:004
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit
upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and
seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness
016:005
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of
his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies
shall not be so
016:006
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for
the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are
stricken
016:007
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah:
the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants
thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through
the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone
over the sea
016:008
Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of
Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and
Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy
harvest is fallen
016:009
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful
field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither
shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine
in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease
016:010
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and
mine inward parts for Kirharesh
016:011
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary
on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to
pray; but he shall not prevail
016:012
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab
since that time
016:013
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as
the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be
contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant
shall be very small and feeble
