¹Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

KJVSend^H7971^(H8798) ye the lamb^H3733 to the ruler^H4910^(H8802) of the land^H776 from Sela^H5554 to the wilderness^H4057, unto the mount^H2022 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726.

² For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.

KJVFor it shall be, that, as a wandering^H5074^(H8802) bird^H5775 cast out^H7971^(H8794) of the nest^H7064, so the daughters^H1323 of Moab^H4124 shall be at the fords^H4569 of Arnon^H769.

³ Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!

KJVTake^H935^(H8685) counsel^H6098, execute^H6213^(H8798) judgment^H6415; make^H7896^(H8798) thy shadow^H6738 as the night^H3915 in the midst^H8432 of the noonday^H6672; hide^H5641^(H8761) the outcasts^H5080^(H8737); bewray^H1540^(H8762) not him that wandereth^H5074^(H8802).

⁴ Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.

KJVLet mine outcasts^H5080^(H8737) dwell^H1481^(H8799) with thee, Moab^H4124; be^H1933^(H8798) thou a covert^H5643 to them from the face^H6440 of the spoiler^H7703^(H8802): for the extortioner^H4160^(H8801) is at an end^H656^(H8804), the spoiler^H7701 ceaseth^H3615^(H8804), the oppressors^H7429^(H8802) are consumed^H8552^(H8804) out of the land^H776.

⁵ A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

KJVAnd in mercy^H2617 shall the throne^H3678 be established^H3559^(H8717): and he shall sit^H3427^(H8804) upon it in truth^H571 in the tabernacle^H168 of David^H1732, judging^H8199^(H8802), and seeking^H1875^(H8802) judgment^H4941, and hasting^H4106 righteousness^H6664.

⁶ We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.

KJVWe have heard^H8085^(H8804) of the pride^H1347 of Moab^H4124; he is very^H3966 proud^H1341: even of his haughtiness^H1346, and his pride^H1347, and his wrath^H5678: but his lies^H907 shall not be so.

⁷ Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.

KJVTherefore shall Moab^H4124 howl^H3213^(H8686) for Moab^H4124, every one shall howl^H3213^(H8686): for the foundations^H808 of Kirhareseth^H7025 shall ye mourn^H1897^(H8799); surely they are stricken^H5218.

⁸ For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.

KJVFor the fields^H7709 of Heshbon^H2809 languish^H535^(H8797), and the vine^H1612 of Sibmah^H7643: the lords^H1167 of the heathen^H1471 have broken down^H1986^(H8804) the principal plants^H8291 thereof, they are come^H5060^(H8804) even unto Jazer^H3270, they wandered^H8582^(H8804) through the wilderness^H4057: her branches^H7976 are stretched out^H5203^(H8738), they are gone over^H5674^(H8804) the sea^H3220.

⁹ Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.

KJVTherefore I will bewail^H1058^(H8799) with the weeping^H1065 of Jazer^H3270 the vine^H1612 of Sibmah^H7643: I will water^H7301^(H8762) thee with my tears^H1832, O Heshbon^H2809, and Elealeh^H500: for the shouting^H1959 for thy summer fruits^H7019 and for thy harvest^H7105 is fallen^H5307^(H8804).

¹⁰ Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.

KJVAnd gladness^H8057 is taken away^H622^(H8738), and joy^H1524 out of the plentiful field^H3759; and in the vineyards^H3754 there shall be no singing^H7442^(H8792), neither shall there be shouting^H7321^(H8783): the treaders^H1869^(H8802) shall tread out^H1869^(H8799) no wine^H3196 in their presses^H3342; I have made their vintage shouting^H1959 to cease^H7673^(H8689).

¹¹ Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.

KJVWherefore my bowels^H4578 shall sound^H1993^(H8799) like an harp^H3658 for Moab^H4124, and mine inward parts^H7130 for Kirharesh^H7025.

¹² It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, when it is seen^H7200^(H8738) that Moab^H4124 is weary^H3811^(H8738) on the high place^H1116, that he shall come^H935^(H8804) to his sanctuary^H4720 to pray^H6419^(H8692); but he shall not prevail^H3201^(H8799).

¹³ This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab in time past.

KJVThis is the word^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696^(H8765) concerning Moab^H4124 since that time^H227.

¹⁴ But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

KJVBut now the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696^(H8765), saying^H559^(H8800), Within three^H7969 years^H8141, as the years^H8141 of an hireling^H7916, and the glory^H3519 of Moab^H4124 shall be contemned^H7034^(H8738), with all that great^H7227 multitude^H1995; and the remnant^H7605 shall be very^H4592 small^H4213 and feeble^H3808^H3524.

WEB·Isaiah 15

¹The burden of Moab. For in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

KJVThe burden^H4853 of Moab^H4124. Because in the night^H3915 Ar^H6144 of Moab^H4124 is laid waste^H7703^(H8795), and brought to silence^H1820^(H8738); because in the night^H3915 Kir^H7024 of Moab^H4124 is laid waste^H7703^(H8795), and brought to silence^H1820^(H8738);

² They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

KJVHe is gone up^H5927^(H8804) to Bajith^H1006, and to Dibon^H1769, the high places^H1116, to weep^H1065: Moab^H4124 shall howl^H3213^(H8686) over Nebo^H5015, and over Medeba^H4311: on all their heads^H7218 shall be baldness^H7144, and every beard^H2206 cut off^H1438^(H8803).

⁴ Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

KJVAnd Heshbon^H2809 shall cry^H2199^(H8799), and Elealeh^H500: their voice^H6963 shall be heard^H8085^(H8738) even unto Jahaz^H3096: therefore the armed soldiers^H2502^(H8803) of Moab^H4124 shall cry out^H7321^(H8686); his life^H5315 shall be grievous^H3415^(H8804) unto him.

⁵ My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.

KJVMy heart^H3820 shall cry out^H2199^(H8799) for Moab^H4124; his fugitives^H1280 shall flee unto Zoar^H6820, an heifer^H5697 of three years old^H7992: for by the mounting up^H4608 of Luhith^H3872 with weeping^H1065 shall they go it up^H5927^(H8799); for in the way^H1870 of Horonaim^H2773 they shall raise up^H5782^(H8787) a cry^H2201 of destruction^H7667.
