Isaiah 16 (ESV)
The English Standard Version Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha. Crossway, 1 Jan. 2015. Web. 24 Jan. 2015.
6 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,
from uSela, by way of the desert,
to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
at vthe fords of the Arnon.
wmake your shade like night
4 let xthe outcasts of Moab
be a shelter to them1
When the oppressor is no more,
and he who tramples underfoot has vanished from the land,
5 ythen a throne will be established in steadfast love,
and on it will sit in faithfulness
one who judges and seeks justice
and is swift to do righteousness.”
6 zWe have heard of the pride of Moab—
aof his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
in his idle boasting he is not right.
7 Therefore let Moab wail for Moab,
blet everyone wail.
for the craisin cakes of dKir-hareseth.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and ethe vine of Sibmah;
have struck down its branches,
9 Therefore fI weep with ethe weeping of Jazer
for over gyour summer fruit and your harvest
10 hAnd joy and gladness are taken away from ithe fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no jsongs are sung,
no ktreader treads out wine lin the presses;
I have put an end to the shouting.
11 Therefore mmy inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,
and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.
12 And when Moab presents himself, when nhe wearies himself on othe high place, when he comes to his sanctuary to pray, he will not prevail.
13 This is the word that the Lord spoke concerning Moab pin the past. 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “In three years, qlike the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab will be brought into contempt, in spite of all his great multitude, and those who remain will be rvery few and feeble.”
