16:1 Send 7971 8798 ye the lamb 3733 to the ruler 4910 8802 of the land 776 from Sela 5554 to the wilderness 4057, unto the mount 2022 of the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726.(Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock)

16:2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering 5074 8802 bird 5775 cast out 7971 8794 of the nest 7064, [so] the daughters 1323 of Moab 4124 shall be at the fords 4569 of Arnon 769.(cast…: or, a nest forsaken)

16:3 Take 935 8685 counsel 6098, execute 6213 8798 judgment 6415; make 7896 8798 thy shadow 6738 as the night 3915 in the midst 8432 of the noonday 6672; hide 5641 8761 the outcasts 5080 8737; bewray 1540 8762 not him that wandereth 5074 8802.(Take: Heb. Bring)

16:4 Let mine outcasts 5080 8737 dwell 1481 8799 with thee, Moab 4124; be 1933 8798 thou a covert 5643 to them from the face 6440 of the spoiler 7703 8802: for the extortioner 4160 8801 is at an end 656 8804, the spoiler 7701 ceaseth 3615 8804, the oppressors 7429 8802 are consumed 8552 8804 out of the land 776.(extortioner: Heb. wringer)(the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down)

16:5 And in mercy 2617 shall the throne 3678 be established 3559 8717: and he shall sit 3427 8804 upon it in truth 571 in the tabernacle 168 of David 1732, judging 8199 8802, and seeking 1875 8802 judgment 4941, and hasting 4106 righteousness 6664.(established: or, prepared)

16:6 We have heard 8085 8804 of the pride 1347 of Moab 4124; [he is] very 3966 proud 1341: [even] of his haughtiness 1346, and his pride 1347, and his wrath 5678: [but] his lies 907 [shall] not [be] so.

16:7 Therefore shall Moab 4124 howl 3213 8686 for Moab 4124, every one shall howl 3213 8686: for the foundations 808 of Kirhareseth 7025 shall ye mourn 1897 8799; surely [they are] stricken 5218.(mourn: or, mutter)

16:8 For the fields 7709 of Heshbon 2809 languish 535 8797, [and] the vine 1612 of Sibmah 7643: the lords 1167 of the heathen 1471 have broken down 1986 8804 the principal plants 8291 thereof, they are come 5060 8804 [even] unto Jazer 3270, they wandered 8582 8804 [through] the wilderness 4057: her branches 7976 are stretched out 5203 8738, they are gone over 5674 8804 the sea 3220.(stretched…: or, plucked up)

16:9 Therefore I will bewail 1058 8799 with the weeping 1065 of Jazer 3270 the vine 1612 of Sibmah 7643: I will water 7301 8762 thee with my tears 1832, O Heshbon 2809, and Elealeh 500: for the shouting 1959 for thy summer fruits 7019 and for thy harvest 7105 is fallen 5307 8804.(the shouting…: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc)

16:10 And gladness 8057 is taken away 622 8738, and joy 1524 out of the plentiful field 3759; and in the vineyards 3754 there shall be no singing 7442 8792, neither shall there be shouting 7321 8783: the treaders 1869 8802 shall tread out 1869 8799 no wine 3196 in [their] presses 3342; I have made [their vintage] shouting 1959 to cease 7673 8689.

16:11 Wherefore my bowels 4578 shall sound 1993 8799 like an harp 3658 for Moab 4124, and mine inward parts 7130 for Kirharesh 7025.

16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen 7200 8738 that Moab 4124 is weary 3811 8738 on the high place 1116, that he shall come 935 8804 to his sanctuary 4720 to pray 6419 8692; but he shall not prevail 3201 8799.

16:13 This [is] the word 1697 that the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765 concerning Moab 4124 since that time 227.

16:14 But now the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765, saying 559 8800, Within three 7969 years 8141, as the years 8141 of an hireling 7916, and the glory 3519 of Moab 4124 shall be contemned 7034 8738, with all that great 7227 multitude 1995; and the remnant 7605 [shall be] very 4592 small 4213 [and] feeble 3808 3524.(feeble: or, not many)
