Send{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}.

For 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}.

Take{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)}.

Let 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}.

And 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}.

We 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.

Therefore 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}.

For 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}.

Therefore 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)}.

And 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)}.

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

And 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)}.

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

But 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}.
