King James Version
Send the tribute
lambs
to the ruler of the land ,
from Sela in
the
desert
to the mount of Daughter Zion.
Send ye
the lamb
to the ruler of the land from Sela 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
a
wandering
bird
cast
out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall
be
at the fords of 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
.
Take
counsel ,
execute
judgment
; make
thy
shadow
as the
night in
the
midst
of
the
noonday;
hide the outcasts
; bewray
not him
that
wandereth
.
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,
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 .
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
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.
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;
he
is
very
proud:
even
of
his
haughtiness
, and
his pride, and
his wrath:
but his lies
shall
not
be
so
.
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 howl
for Moab ,
every
one
shall
howl:
for the foundations
of Kirhareseth
shall
ye
mourn;
surely
they
are 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 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.
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
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
.
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 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
.
Therefore
my heart
laments
for
Moab
like a
harp, my
inmost
being
for Kir-heres
.
Wherefore
my bowels
shall
sound
like an
harp for
Moab
, and
mine
inward
parts
for Kirharesh
.
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 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
.
This is the message
that the LORD spoke
earlier
concerning Moab.
This is the word
that the LORD hath
spoken
concerning Moab since
that
time
.
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 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.
