Isaiah 16 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Prophecy of Moab's Devastation

Isa 16:1Send the lamb of the ruler of the land from the rock to the wilderness, -- unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

Isa 16:2

Isa 16:2And it shall be that as a wandering bird, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.

Isa 16:3

Isa 16:3Bring in counsel, execute justice; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of noonday; hide the outcasts, discover not the fugitive.

Isa 16:4

Isa 16:4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the waster. For the extortioner is at an end, the wasting hath ceased, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

Isa 16:5

Isa 16:5And a throne shall be established in mercy: and in the tent of David there shall sit upon it, in truth, one judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.

Isa 16:6

Isa 16:6We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, -- he is very proud, -- of his pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath: his pratings are vain.

Isa 16:7

Isa 16:7Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab; every one of them shall howl. For the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn, verily afflicted.

Isa 16:8

Isa 16:8For the fields of Heshbon languish, the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants: they reached unto Jaazer, they wandered through the wilderness; its shoots stretched out, they went beyond the sea.

Isa 16:9

Isa 16:9Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jaazer for the vine of Sibmah; with my tears will I water thee, Heshbon, and Elealeh, for a cry is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest.

Isa 16:10

Isa 16:10And joy and gladness is taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there is no singing, neither is there shouting: the treaders tread out no wine in the presses, I have made the cry of the winepress to cease.

Isa 16:11

Isa 16:11Therefore my bowels sound like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirheres.

Isa 16:12

Isa 16:12And it shall come to pass, when Moab shall appear, shall weary himself on the high place, and enter into his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.

Isa 16:13

Isa 16:13This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken from of old concerning Moab.

Isa 16:14

Isa 16:14And now Jehovah speaketh saying, Within three years, as the years of a hired servant, and the glory of Moab shall be brought to nothing, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be small, few, of no account.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
