Isaiah 16 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Isa 16:1

Isa 16:1Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Tziyon.

Isa 16:2

Isa 16:2For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Mo'av be at the fords of the Arnon.

Isa 16:3

Isa 16:3Give counsel, execute justice; make your shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; don't betray the fugitive.

Isa 16:4

Isa 16:4Let my outcasts dwell with you; as for Mo'av, be a covert to him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing, destruction ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

Isa 16:5

Isa 16:5A throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

Isa 16:6

Isa 16:6We have heard of the pride of Mo'av, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nothing.

Isa 16:7

Isa 16:7Therefore shall Mo'av wail for Mo'av, everyone shall wail: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-Hareset shall you mourn, utterly stricken.

Isa 16:8

Isa 16:8For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sivmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice branches of it, which reached even to Ya`zer, which wandered into the wilderness; its shoots were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.

Isa 16:9

Isa 16:9Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Ya`zer for the vine of Sivmah; I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and El`aleh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout is fallen.

Isa 16:10

Isa 16:10Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: nobody shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease.

Isa 16:11

Isa 16:11Why my heart sounds like a harp for Mo'av, and my inward parts for Kir-Heres.

Isa 16:12

Isa 16:12It shall happen, when Mo'av presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.

Isa 16:13

Isa 16:13This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Mo'av in time past.

Isa 16:14

Isa 16:14But now the LORD has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Mo'av shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
