\q1
|
|
\v 1 Send rams to the ruler of the land
|
|
\q1 from Selah in the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 As wandering birds, as a scattered nest,
|
|
\q1 so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 "Give instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day;
|
|
\q1 hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Let them live among you, the refugees from Moab;
|
|
\q1 be a hiding place for them from the destroyer."
|
|
\m
|
|
\q1 For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease,
|
|
\q1 those who trample will disappear from the land.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 A throne will be established in covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there.
|
|
\q1 He will judge as he seeks justice and does righteousness.

\q1
|
|
\v 6 We have heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance,
|
|
\q1 his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah.
|
|
\q1 The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines
|
|
\q1 that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert.
|
|
\q1 Its shoots spread abroad; they went over to the sea.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah.
|
|
\q1 I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh.
|
|
\q1 For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards.
|
|
\q1 No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 When Moab wears himself out on the high place
|
|
\q1 and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
\p
|
|
\v 13 This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.
|
|
\v 14 Again Yahweh speaks, "Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant."
