1Send7971 ye the lamb3733 to the ruler4910 of the land776 from Sela5554 to the wilderness4057, unto the mount2022 of the daughter1323 of Zion6726.
2For it shall be, that, as a wandering5074 bird5775 cast out7971 of the nest7064, so the daughters1323 of Moab4124 shall be at the fords4569 of Arnon769.
3Take935 counsel6098, execute6213 judgment6415; make7896 thy shadow6738 as the night3915 in the midst8432 of the noonday6672; hide5641 the outcasts5080; bewray1540 not him that wandereth5074.
4Let mine outcasts5080 dwell1481 with thee, Moab4124; be1933 thou a covert5643 to them from the face6440 of the spoiler7703: for the extortioner4160 is at an end656, the spoiler7701 ceaseth3615, the oppressors7429 are consumed8552 out of the land776.
5And in mercy2617 shall the throne3678 be established3559: and he shall sit3427 upon it in truth571 in the tabernacle168 of David1732, judging8199, and seeking1875 judgment4941, and hasting4106 righteousness6664.
6We have heard8085 of the pride1347 of Moab4124; he is very3966 proud1341: even of his haughtiness1346, and his pride1347, and his wrath5678: but his lies907 shall not be so.
7Therefore shall Moab4124 howl3213 for Moab4124, every one shall howl3213: for the foundations808 of Kirhareseth7025 shall ye mourn1897; surely they are stricken5218.
8For the fields7709 of Heshbon2809 languish535, and the vine1612 of Sibmah7643: the lords1167 of the heathen1471 have broken down1986 the principal plants8291 thereof, they are come5060 even unto Jazer3270, they wandered8582 through the wilderness4057: her branches7976 are stretched out5203, they are gone over5674 the sea3220.
9Therefore I will bewail1058 with the weeping1065 of Jazer3270 the vine1612 of Sibmah7643: I will water7301 thee with my tears1832, O Heshbon2809, and Elealeh500: for the shouting1959 for thy summer fruits7019 and for thy harvest7105 is fallen5307.
10And gladness8057 is taken away622, and joy1524 out of the plentiful field3759; and in the vineyards3754 there shall be no singing7442, neither shall there be shouting7321: the treaders1869 shall tread out1869 no wine3196 in their presses3342; I have made their vintage shouting1959 to cease7673.
11Wherefore my bowels4578 shall sound1993 like an harp3658 for Moab4124, and mine inward parts7130 for Kirharesh7025.
12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen7200 that Moab4124 is weary3811 on the high place1116, that he shall come935 to his sanctuary4720 to pray6419; but he shall not prevail3201.
13This is the word1697 that the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 concerning Moab4124 since that time227.
14But now the LORD3068 hath spoken1696, saying559, Within three7969 years8141, as the years8141 of an hireling7916, and the glory3519 of Moab4124 shall be contemned7034, with all that great7227 multitude1995; and the remnant7605 shall be very4592 small4213 and feeble3808 3524.
