16:1 Send
ye
the
lambe
to
the
ruler
of
the
land
from
Sela
to
the
wildernesse,
vnto
the
mount
of
the
daughter
of
Zion.
16:2 For
it
shalbe
that
as
a
wandering
bird
cast
out
of
the
nest:
so
the
daughters
of
Moab
shalbe
at
the
fordes
of
Arnon.
16:3 Take
counsell,
execute
Iudgement,
make
thy
shadow
as
the
night
in
the
middest
of
the
nooneday,
hide
the
outcastes,
bewray
not
him
that
wandereth.
16:4 Let
mine
outcasts
dwel
with
thee,
Moab,
be
thou
a
couert
to
them
from
the
face
of
the
spoiler:
for
the
extortioner
is
at
an
end,
the
spoiler
ceaseth,
the
oppressours
are
consumed
out
of
the
land.
16:5 And
in
mercy
shall
the
throne
be
established,
and
hee
shal
sit
vpon
it
in
trueth,
in
the
tabernacle
of
Dauid,
iudging
and
seeking
iudgement,
and
hasting
righteousnesse.
16:6 We
haue
heard
of
the
pride
of
Moab
(hee
is
very
proud)
euen
of
his
hautines,
and
his
pride,
and
his
wrath:
but
his
lies
shall
not
be
so.
16:7 Therefore
shall
Moab
howle
for
Moab,
euery
one
shal
howle:
for
the
foundations
of
Kir-hareseth
shall
yee
mourne,
surely
they
are
stricken.
16:8 For
the
fieldes
of
Heshbon
languish,
and
the
vine
of
Sibmah,
the
lords
of
the
heathen
haue
broken
downe
the
principall
plants
thereof,
they
are
come
euen
vnto
Iazer,
they
wandred
through
the
wildernesse,
her
branches
are
stretched
out,
they
are
gone
ouer
the
sea.
16:9 Therefore
I
wil
bewaile
with
the
weeping
of
Iazer,
the
Uine
of
Sibmah
I
wil
water
thee
with
my
teares,
O
Heshbon,
and
Elealeh:
for
the
shouting
for
thy
Summer
fruits,
and
for
thy
haruest,
is
fallen.
16:10 And
gladnesse
is
taken
away,
and
ioy
out
of
the
plentifull
field,
and
in
the
Uineyards
there
shalbe
no
singing,
neither
shal
there
be
shouting:
the
treaders
shall
tread
out
no
wine
in
their
presses;
I
haue
made
their
vintage
shouting
to
cease.
16:11 Wherefore
my
bowels
shal
sound
like
an
harpe
for
Moab,
and
mine
inward
parts
for
Kir-haresh.
16:12 And
it
shal
come
to
passe,
when
it
is
seene
that
Moab
is
weary
on
the
high
place,
that
hee
shall
come
to
his
Sanctuary
to
pray:
but
hee
shall
not
preuaile.
16:13 This
is
the
word
that
the
Lord
hath
spoken
concerning
Moab
since
that
time.
16:14 But
now
the
Lord
hath
spoken,
saying,
Within
three
yeeres,
as
the
yeeres
of
an
hireling,
and
the
glory
of
Moab
shalbe
contemned,
with
all
that
great
multitude;
and
the
remnant
shall
be
very
small
and
feeble.
