[1] Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. [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. [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! [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. [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. [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. [7] Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken. [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. [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. [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. [11] Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres. [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. [13] This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab in time past. [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.”
King James Version
[1] Send H7971 ye the lamb H3733 to the ruler H4910 of the land H776 from Sela H5554§ to the wilderness, H4057 unto H413 the mount H2022 of the daughter H1323 of Zion. H6726 [2] For it shall be, that, as a wandering H5074 bird H5775 cast out H7971 of the nest, H7064§ so the daughters H1323 of Moab H4124 shall be at the fords H4569 of Arnon. H769 [3] Take H935§ counsel, H6098 execute H6213 judgment; H6415 make H7896 thy shadow H6738 as the night H3915 in the midst H8432 of the noonday; H6672 hide H5641 the outcasts; H5080 bewray H1540 not H408 him that wandereth. H5074 [4] Let mine outcasts H5080 dwell H1481 with thee, Moab; H4124 be H1933 thou a covert H5643 to them from the face H6440 of the spoiler: H7703 for H3588 the extortioner H4160§ is at an end, H656 the spoiler H7701 ceaseth, H3615 the oppressors H7429§ are consumed H8552 out of H4480 the land. H776 [5] And in mercy H2617 shall the throne H3678 be established: H3559§ and he shall sit H3427 upon H5921 it in truth H571 in the tabernacle H168 of David, H1732 judging, H8199 and seeking H1875 judgment, H4941 and hasting H4106 righteousness. H6664 [6] We have heard H8085 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 shall Moab H4124 howl H3213 for Moab, H4124 every H3605 one shall howl: H3213 for the foundations H808 of Kirhareseth H7025 shall ye mourn; H1897§ surely they are stricken. H5218 [8] For H3588 the fields H7709 of Heshbon H2809 languish, H535 and the vine H1612 of Sibmah: H7643 the lords H1167 of the heathen H1471 have broken down H1986 the principal plants H8291 thereof, they are come H5060 even unto Jazer, H3270 they wandered H8582 through the wilderness: H4057 her branches H7976 are stretched out, H5203§ they are gone over H5674 the sea. H3220 [9] Therefore I will bewail H1058 with the weeping H1065 of Jazer H3270 the vine H1612 of Sibmah: H7643 I will water H7301 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 [10] And gladness H8057 is taken away, H622 and joy H1524 out of H4480 the plentiful field; H3759 and in the vineyards H3754 there shall be no singing, H7442 neither shall there be shouting: H7321 the treaders H1869 shall tread out H1869 no wine H3196 in their presses; H3342 I have made their vintage shouting H1959 to cease. H7673 [11] Wherefore my bowels H4578 shall sound H1993 like an harp H3658 for Moab, H4124 and mine inward parts H7130 for Kirharesh. H7025 [12] And it shall come to pass, when it is seen H7200 that Moab H4124 is weary H3811 on H5921 the high place, H1116 that he shall come H935 to his sanctuary H4720 to pray; H6419 but he shall not prevail. H3201 [13] This is the word H1697 that the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 concerning Moab H4124 since that time. H227 [14] But now the Lord H3068 hath spoken, H1696 saying, H559 Within three H7969 years, H8141 as the years H8141 of an hireling, H7916 and the glory H3519 of Moab H4124 shall be contemned, H7034 with all that great H7227 multitude; H1995 and the remnant H7605 shall be very H4592 small H4213 and feeble. H3808§ H3524

[1] Ἀποστελῶ G649 ὡς G5613 ἑρπετὰ G2062 ἐπὶ G1909 τὴν G3588 γῆν· G1093 μὴ G3361 πέτρα G4073 ἔρημός G2048 ἐστιν G2076 τὸ G3588 ὄρος G3735 Σιων; G4622 [2] Ἔσῃ G2071 γὰρ G1063 ὡς G5613 πετεινοῦ ἀνιπταμένου νεοσσὸς G3502 ἀφῃρημένος, G851 θύγατερ G2364 Μωαβ. Ἔπειτα G1899 δέ, G1161 Αρνων, [3] πλείονα G4119 βουλεύου, G1011 ποιεῖτε G4160 σκέπην πένθους G3997 αὐτῇ G846 διὰ G1223 παντός· G3956 ἐν G1722 μεσημβρινῇ σκοτίᾳ G4653 φεύγουσιν, G5343 ἐξέστησαν, G1839 μὴ G3361 ἀπαχθῇς. G520 [4] Παροικήσουσίν G3939 σοι G4671 οἱ G3588 φυγάδες Μωαβ, ἔσονται G2071 σκέπη ὑμῖν G5213 ἀπὸ G575 προσώπου G4383 διώκοντος, G1377 ὅτι G3754 ἤρθη G142 ἡ G3588 συμμαχία σου, G4675 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 ἄρχων G758 ἀπώλετο G622 ὁ G3588 καταπατῶν G2662 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 [5] Καὶ G2532 διορθωθήσεται μετ’ G3326 ἐλέους G1656 θρόνος, G2362 καὶ G2532 καθίεται G2523 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτοῦ G846 μετὰ G3326 ἀληθείας G225 ἐν G1722 σκηνῇ G4633 Δαυιδ G1138 κρίνων G2919 καὶ G2532 ἐκζητῶν G1567 κρίμα G2917 καὶ G2532 σπεύδων G4692 δικαιοσύνην. G1343 [6] Ἠκούσαμεν G191 τὴν G3588 ὕβριν G5196 Μωαβ, ὑβριστὴς G5197 σφόδρα, G4970 τὴν G3588 ὑπερηφανίαν G5243 ἐξῆρας. G1808 Οὐχ G3756 οὕτως G3779 ἡ G3588 μαντεία σου, G4675 [7] οὐχ G3756 οὕτως. G3779 Ὀλολύξει G3649 Μωαβ, ἐν G1722 γὰρ G1063 τῇ G3588 Μωαβίτιδι πάντες G3956 ὀλολύξουσιν· G3649 τοῖς G3588 κατοικοῦσιν G2730 Δεσεθ μελετήσεις G3191 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐντραπήσῃ. G1788 [8] Τὰ G3588 πεδία Εσεβων πενθήσει, G3996 ἄμπελος G288 Σεβαμα· καταπίνοντες G2666 τὰ G3588 ἔθνη G1484 καταπατήσατε G2662 τὰς G3588 ἀμπέλους G288 αὐτῆς G846 ἕως G2193 Ιαζηρ· οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 συνάψητε, πλανήθητε G4105 τὴν G3588 ἔρημον· G2048 οἱ G3588 ἀπεσταλμένοι G649 ἐγκατελείφθησαν, G1459 διέβησαν G1224 γὰρ G1063 τὴν G3588 ἔρημον. G2048 [9] Διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 κλαύσομαι G2799 ὡς G5613 τὸν G3588 κλαυθμὸν G2805 Ιαζηρ ἄμπελον G288 Σεβαμα· τὰ G3588 δένδρα G1186 σου G4675 κατέβαλεν, G2598 Εσεβων καὶ G2532 Ελεαλη, ὅτι G3754 ἐπὶ G1909 τῷ G3588 θερισμῷ G2326 καὶ G2532 ἐπὶ G1909 τῷ G3588 τρυγήτῳ σου G4675 καταπατήσω, G2662 καὶ G2532 πάντα G3956 πεσοῦνται. G4098 [10] Καὶ G2532 ἀρθήσεται G142 εὐφροσύνη G2167 καὶ G2532 ἀγαλλίαμα ἐκ G1537 τῶν G3588 ἀμπελώνων G290 σου, G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 τοῖς G3588 ἀμπελῶσίν G290 σου G4675 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 εὐφρανθήσονται G2165 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 πατήσουσιν G3961 οἶνον G3631 εἰς G1519 τὰ G3588 ὑπολήνια, G5276 πέπαυται G3973 γάρ. G1063 [11] Διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 ἡ G3588 κοιλία G2836 μου G3450 ἐπὶ G1909 Μωαβ ὡς G5613 κιθάρα G2788 ἠχήσει, G2278 καὶ G2532 τὰ G3588 ἐντός G1787 μου G3450 ὡσεὶ G5616 τεῖχος, G5038 ὃ G3739 ἐνεκαίνισας. G1457 [12] Καὶ G2532 ἔσται G2071 εἰς G1519 τὸ G3588 ἐντραπῆναί G1788 σε, G4571 ὅτι G3754 ἐκοπίασεν G2872 Μωαβ ἐπὶ G1909 τοῖς G3588 βωμοῖς G1041 καὶ G2532 εἰσελεύσεται G1525 εἰς G1519 τὰ G3588 χειροποίητα G5499 αὐτῆς G846 ὥστε G5620 προσεύξασθαι, G4336 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 δύνηται G1410 ἐξελέσθαι G1807 αὐτόν. G846 [13] Τοῦτο G5124 τὸ G3588 ῥῆμα, G4487 ὃ G3739 ἐλάλησεν G2980 κύριος G2962 ἐπὶ G1909 Μωαβ, ὁπότε G3698 καὶ G2532 ἐλάλησεν. G2980 [14] Καὶ G2532 νῦν G3568 λέγω G3004 Ἐν G1722 τρισὶν G5140 ἔτεσιν G2094 ἐτῶν G2094 μισθωτοῦ G3411 ἀτιμασθήσεται G818 ἡ G3588 δόξα G1391 Μωαβ ἐν G1722 παντὶ G3956 τῷ G3588 πλούτῳ G4149 τῷ G3588 πολλῷ, G4183 καὶ G2532 καταλειφθήσεται G2641 ὀλιγοστὸς καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἔντιμος.
