Send the tribute
lambs to
the ruler of the land ,
from Sela

to the mount of Daughter Zion.
Send ye
the lambs for
the ruler of the land from Selah
to the wilderness,
unto
the
mount of the
daughter of
Zion.
Like
fluttering
birds pushed
out
of
the
nest, so are
the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon :
For
it
shall
be
that,
as
wandering
birds ,
as
a
scattered
nest, so shall
the daughters of Moab be
at the fords of the Arnon .
“
Give us
counsel; render
a
decision.
Shelter
us
at
noonday
with
shade as dark
as
night .
Hide the refugees
; do
not
betray the one
who
flees
.
Give counsel ,
execute
justice
; make
thy
shade as the
night in
the
midst
of
the
noonday;
hide the outcasts
; betray not
the fugitive
.
Let my
fugitives
stay
with you
; be
a
refuge
for Moab from the destroyer. ”
When
the oppressor
has
gone
, destruction has
ceased
, and
the oppressors have
vanished
from
the land ,
Let mine
outcasts
dwell
with thee
; as
for Moab ,
be
thou
a
covert
to
him
from the face
of
the
destroyer. For
the extortioner
is
brought
to
nought
, destruction ceaseth
, the oppressors are
consumed
out
of
the land .
in
loving
devotion
a throne will
be established in the tent of David .
A
judge
seeking justice and hastening
righteousness will
sit
on
it
in
faithfulness
.
And
a throne shall
be established in lovingkindness;
and
one
shall
sit
thereon
in
truth,
in
the tent of David ,
judging,
and
seeking justice ,
and swift
to
do
righteousness.
We have heard of Moab’s
pomposity
, his exceeding
pride
and conceit
, his overflowing
arrogance.
But
his boasting
is
empty
.
We have heard of the
pride
of
Moab
, `that'
he
is
very
proud;
even
of
his arrogancy,
and his
pride
, and
his wrath;
his boastings
are
nought
.
Therefore let
Moab wail ;
let
them
wail
together
for Moab .
Moan
for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, you
who
are
utterly stricken.
Therefore shall
Moab wail for Moab ,
every
one
shall
wail:
for the raisin -
cakes of Kir-hareseth shall
ye
mourn
, utterly stricken.
For the fields of Heshbon have
withered
, along
with
the grapevines
of Sibmah .
The rulers
of the nations have trampled
its
choicest
vines
, which had
reached as
far
as
Jazer and
spread
toward
the desert.
Their
shoots had
spread out
and
passed over the sea.
For the fields of Heshbon languish
, `and'
the vine
of Sibmah ;
the lords
of the nations have broken
down
the
choice
branches
thereof
, which reached even
unto
Jazer ,
which
wandered
into
the wilderness;
its
shoots were
spread abroad,
they
passed over the sea.
So
I weep with Jazer for the vines
of Sibmah; I drench
Heshbon
and
Elealeh
with my tears .
Triumphant
shouts
have
fallen
silent
over
your
summer fruit
and your
harvest.
Therefore
I will
weep with the
weeping
of
Jazer for the vine
of Sibmah; I will
water
thee
with my tears ,
O
Heshbon,
and
Elealeh:
for
upon
thy
summer fruits
and upon
thy
harvest the
`battle'
shout
is
fallen
.
Joy
and gladness are
removed
from
the orchard
; no
one
sings
or
shouts
in the vineyards .
No one
tramples
the
grapes
in the winepresses
; I have put
an
end
to
the cheering
.
And gladness is
taken
away,
and
joy
out
of
the fruitful
field
; and
in the vineyards there
shall
be
no singing,
neither
joyful
noise:
no
treader
shall
tread
out
wine
in the presses
; I have made
the `vintage'
shout
to
cease
.
Therefore
my heart laments
for
Moab
like a harp, my
inmost
being
for Kir-heres.
Wherefore
my heart soundeth
like a harp for
Moab
, and
mine
inward
parts
for Kir-heres.
When Moab appears
on
the
high
place
, when he wearies
himself and enters
his sanctuary to pray, it
will
do
him
no
good
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when Moab presenteth
himself
, when he wearieth
himself upon
the
high
place,
and shall
come
to
his sanctuary to pray, that
he
shall
not
prevail
.
This is the message
that the
LORD
spoke
earlier
concerning Moab.
This is the word
that Jehovah
spake
concerning Moab in
time
past
.
And
now the
LORD
says
, “In
three years, as a
hired
worker
counts
the years, Moab’s
splendor
will
become
an
object
of contempt, with all her
many
people.
And those
who
are
left
will
be few
and feeble
. ”
But
now Jehovah
hath
spoken
, saying,
Within
three years, as the years of
a
hireling
, the
glory
of Moab
shall
be
brought
into
contempt, with all his
great
multitude;
and the
remnant
shall
be very
small
and of
no
account
.
