Prophecy of Moab’s Devastation

16Send the [tribute] lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.H7971H3733H4910H776H5554H4057H2022H1323H67262Then, like fleeing birds [or] scattered nestlings, The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.H5074H5775H7971H7064H1323H4124H4569H7693"Give [us] advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.H935H6098H6213H6415H7896H6738H3915H8432H6672H5641H5080H1540H50744"Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely [disappeared] from the land.H5080H1481H4124H1933H5643H6440H7703H4160H656H7701H3615H7429H8552H7765A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.H2617H3678H3559H3427H571H168H1732H8199H1875H4941H4106H66646We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride; [Even] of his arrogance, pride, and fury; His idle boasts are false.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1341H1346H1347H5678H9077Therefore Moab shall wail; everyone of Moab shall wail. You shall moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.H4124H3213H4124H3213H808H7025H1897H52188For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah [as well]; The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters Which reached as far as Jazer [and] wandered to the deserts; Its tendrils spread themselves out [and] passed over the sea.H7709H2809H535H1612H7643H1167H1471H1986H8291H5060H3270H8582H4057H7976H5203H5674H32209Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.H1058H1065H3270H1612H7643H7301H1832H2809H500H1959H7019H7105H530710And gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No treader treads out wine in the presses, [For] I have made the shouting to cease.H8057H622H1524H3759H3754H7442H7321H1869H1869H3196H3342H1959H767311Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab, And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.H4578H1993H3658H4124H7130H702512So it will come about when Moab presents himself, When he wearies himself upon [his] high place, And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.H7200H4124H3811H1116H935H4720H6419H320113This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.H1697H3068H1696H4124H22714But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all [his] great population, and [his] remnant will be very small [and] impotent."H3068H1696H559H7969H8141H8141H7916H3519H4124H7034H7227H1995H7605H4592H4213H3808H3524

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
