1 Send you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 For it will be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab will be at the fords of Arnon.
3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not him that wanders.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you, Moab; be you a covert 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.
5 And in mercy will the throne be established: and he will sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [will] not [be] so.
7 Therefore will Moab howl for Moab, every one will howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth will you mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants of it, they are come [even] to Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water you with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for your summer fruits and for your harvest is fallen.
10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither will there be shouting: the treaders will tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] shouting to cease.
11 Therefore my bowels will sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kirharesh.
12 And it will come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he will come to his sanctuary to pray; but he will not prevail.
13 This [is] the word that the LORD [Yahweh] has spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14 But now the LORD [Yahweh] has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab will be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [will be] very small [and] feeble.
