Isaiah 16

16
1Send you2f the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela [the rocks] to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Tziyon [parched place].
2For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be at the fords of ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream].
3Take counsel, execute judgment; make youri shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not him that wanders.
4Let my outcasts dwell with youi, Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; be youi a colonnade to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in tin the tabernacle of David [beloved], judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6We have heard of the pride of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.
7Therefore shall Mo’av [Seed of my Father] howl for Mo’av [Seed of my Father], everyone shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-Hareset [wall of potsherds] shall you2f mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
8For the fields of Heshbon [Stronghold] languish, [and] the vine of Sivnah [Fragrance]: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come [even] unto Ya’zer [Helped], they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Ya’zer [Helped] the vine of Sivnah [Fragrance]: I will water youi with my tears, O Heshbon [Stronghold], and El’aleh [God is Ascending]: for the shouting for youri summer fruits and for youri harvest is fallen.
10And 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 trample out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] shouting to cease.
11For what reason my bowels (inward parts; affections) shall sound like an harp for Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and my inward parts for Kir-Heres [wall of potsherds].
12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13This [is] the word that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken concerning Mo’av [Seed of my Father] since that time.
14But now the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an employee (hired laborer), and the glory of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be scorned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
