Isaiah 16

Gen Z: Isaiah 16

1Send the lamb to the boss of the land from Sela to the wild, to the mount of the daughter of Zion, no cap.

2Just like a lost bird kicked outta the nest, the daughters of Moab gonna chill at the fords of Arnon, fr.

3Get together, make moves; be a shadow like nighttime when it’s lit outside; hide the outcasts, don’t snitch on the wanderers.

4Let my outcasts vibe with you, Moab; be their safe space from the haters: the scammers are done, the spoilers are out, and the oppressors are gone for good.

5With mercy, the throne will be set up: he’ll sit there for real, judging and seeking the truth, popping off on righteousness.

6We’ve heard about Moab's pride; he’s super proud, full of himself, but his lies ain't gonna fly, periodt.

7So Moab gonna howl for Moab, everyone’s gonna feel it: mourn for the foundations of Kir–hareseth; they’re definitely hurting.

8The fields of Heshbon are looking rough, and the vine of Sibmah is struggling: the bosses of the land wrecked the main plants, and they’re wandering through the wild; her branches are stretching out, gone over the sea, no cap.

9So I’ll cry like Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I’ll water you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh; the hype for your summer fruits and harvest has dropped.

10Gladness got snatched away, and joy from the fields; no singing in the vineyards, no hype; the treaders ain’t making wine anymore; I’ve made their vintage vibes stop.

11My insides gonna sound like a harp for Moab, and my heart for Kir–haresh, fr.

12And when Moab looks tired on the high place, he’ll hit up his sanctuary to pray; but he won’t come through.

13This is the word the Lord dropped about Moab since that time, no cap.

14But now the Lord’s saying, in three years, like a hireling’s time, Moab’s glory gonna be dissed, with that big crowd; and the leftovers gonna be small and weak, periodt.

KJV: Isaiah 16

1Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

2For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

5And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

6We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

7Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir–hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

8For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

9Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

10And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

11Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir–haresh.

12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

13This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

14But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
