Isaiah 13:1--17:14

13:1

The burden
<04853>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

which Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

did see
<02372> (8804)_.

13:2

Lift ye up
<05375> (8798)

a banner
<05251>

upon the high
<08192> (8737)

mountain
<02022>_,

exalt
<07311> (8685)

the voice
<06963>

unto them, shake
<05130> (8685)

the hand
<03027>_,

that they may go
<0935> (8799)

into the gates
<06607>

of the nobles
<05081>_.

13:3

I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

my sanctified ones
<06942> (8794)_,

I have also called
<07121> (8804)

my mighty ones
<01368>

for mine anger
<0639>_,

[even] them that rejoice
<05947>

in my highness
<01346>_.

13:4

The noise
<06963>

of a multitude
<01995>

in the mountains
<02022>_,

like as
<01823>

of a great
<07227>

people
<05971>_;

a tumultuous
<07588>

noise
<06963>

of the kingdoms
<04467>

of nations
<01471>

gathered together
<0622> (8737)_:

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

mustereth
<06485> (8764)

the host
<06635>

of the battle
<04421>_.

{like...: Heb. the likeness of}

13:5

They come
<0935> (8802)

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_,

from the end
<07097>

of heaven
<08064>_,

[even] the LORD
<03068>_,

and the weapons
<03627>

of his indignation
<02195>_,

to destroy
<02254> (8763)

the whole land
<0776>_.

13:6

Howl
<03213> (8685)

ye; for the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] at hand
<07138>_;

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

as a destruction
<07701>

from the Almighty
<07706>_.

13:7

Therefore shall all hands
<03027>

be faint
<07503> (8799)_,

and every man's
<0582>

heart
<03824>

shall melt
<04549> (8735)_:

{be faint: or, fall down}

13:8

And they shall be afraid
<0926> (8738)_:

pangs
<06735>

and sorrows
<02256>

shall take hold
<0270> (8799)

of them; they shall be in pain
<02342> (8799)

as a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:

they shall be amazed
<08539> (8799)

one
<0376>

at another
<07453>_;

their faces
<06440>

[shall be as] flames
<03851>_.

{be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one...: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}

13:9

Behold, the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_,

cruel
<0394>

both with wrath
<05678>

and fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_,

to lay
<07760> (8800)

the land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_:

and he shall destroy
<08045> (8686)

the sinners
<02400>

thereof out of it.

13:10

For the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>

and the constellations
<03685>

thereof shall not give
<01984> (8686)

their light
<0216>_:

the sun
<08121>

shall be darkened
<02821> (8804)

in his going forth
<03318> (8800)_,

and the moon
<03394>

shall not cause her light
<0216>

to shine
<05050> (8686)_.

13:11

And I will punish
<06485> (8804)

the world
<08398>

for [their] evil
<07451>_,

and the wicked
<07563>

for their iniquity
<05771>_;

and I will cause the arrogancy
<01347>

of the proud
<02086>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_,

and will lay low
<08213> (8686)

the haughtiness
<01346>

of the terrible
<06184>_.

13:12

I will make a man
<0582>

more precious
<03365> (8686)

than fine gold
<06337>_;

even a man
<0120>

than the golden wedge
<03800>

of Ophir
<0211>_.

13:13

Therefore I will shake
<07264> (8686)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and the earth
<0776>

shall remove
<07493> (8799)

out of her place
<04725>_,

in the wrath
<05678>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and in the day
<03117>

of his fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_.

13:14

And it shall be as the chased
<05080> (8716)

roe
<06643>_,

and as a sheep
<06629>

that no man taketh up
<06908> (8764)_:

they shall every man
<0376>

turn
<06437> (8799)

to his own people
<05971>_,

and flee
<05127> (8799)

every one
<0376>

into his own land
<0776>_.

13:15

Every one that is found
<04672> (8737)

shall be thrust through
<01856> (8735)_;

and every one that is joined
<05595> (8737)

[unto them] shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_.

13:16

Their children
<05768>

also shall be dashed to pieces
<07376> (8792)

before their eyes
<05869>_;

their houses
<01004>

shall be spoiled
<08155> (8735)_,

and their wives
<0802>

ravished
<07901> (8735) (8675) <07693> (8735)_.

13:17

Behold, I will stir up
<05782> (8688)

the Medes
<04074>

against them, which shall not regard
<02803> (8799)

silver
<03701>_;

and [as for] gold
<02091>_,

they shall not delight
<02654> (8799)

in it.

13:18

[Their] bows
<07198>

also shall dash
<07376> (0)

the young men
<05288>

to pieces
<07376> (8762)_;

and they shall have no pity
<07355> (8762)

on the fruit
<06529>

of the womb
<0990>_;

their eye
<05869>

shall not spare
<02347> (8799)

children
<01121>_.

13:19

And Babylon
<0894>_,

the glory
<06643>

of kingdoms
<04467>_,

the beauty
<08597>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_'

excellency
<01347>_,

shall be as when God
<0430>

overthrew
<04114>

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_.

{as...: Heb. as the overthrowing}

13:20

It shall never
<05331>

be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,

neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)

in from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>_:

neither shall the Arabian
<06163>

pitch tent
<0167> (8762)

there; neither shall the shepherds
<07462> (8802)

make their fold
<07257> (8686)

there.

13:21

But wild beasts of the desert
<06728>

shall lie
<07257> (8804)

there; and their houses
<01004>

shall be full
<04390> (8804)

of doleful creatures
<0255>_;

and owls
<01323> <03284>

shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

there, and satyrs
<08163>

shall dance
<07540> (8762)

there. {wild...: Heb. Ziim} {doleful...: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}

13:22

And the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>

shall cry
<06030> (8804)

in their desolate houses
<0490>_,

and dragons
<08577>

in [their] pleasant
<06027>

palaces
<01964>_:

and her time
<06256>

[is] near
<07138>

to come
<0935> (8800)_,

and her days
<03117>

shall not be prolonged
<04900> (8735)_.

{the wild...: Heb. Iim} {desolate...: or, palaces}

14:1

For the LORD
<03068>

will have mercy
<07355> (8762)

on Jacob
<03290>_,

and will yet choose
<0977> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_,

and set
<03240> (8689)

them in their own land
<0127>_:

and the strangers
<01616>

shall be joined
<03867> (8738)

with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> (8738)

to the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_.

14:2

And the people
<05971>

shall take
<03947> (8804)

them, and bring
<0935> (8689)

them to their place
<04725>_:

and the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

shall possess
<05157> (8694)

them in the land
<0127>

of the LORD
<03068>

for servants
<05650>

and handmaids
<08198>_:

and they shall take them captives
<07617> (8802)_,

whose captives
<07617> (8802)

they were; and they shall rule
<07287> (8804)

over their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_.

{whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}

14:3

And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>

that the LORD
<03068>

shall give thee rest
<05117> (8687)

from thy sorrow
<06090>_,

and from thy fear
<07267>_,

and from the hard
<07186>

bondage
<05656>

wherein thou wast made to serve
<05647> (8795)_,

14:4

That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)

this proverb
<04912>

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

the golden city
<04062>

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}

14:5

The LORD
<03068>

hath broken
<07665> (8804)

the staff
<04294>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

[and] the sceptre
<07626>

of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.

14:6

He who smote
<05221> (8688)

the people
<05971>

in wrath
<05678>

with a continual
<01115> <05627>

stroke
<04347>_,

he that ruled
<07287> (8802)

the nations
<01471>

in anger
<0639>_,

is persecuted
<04783>_,

[and] none
<01097>

hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.

{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}

14:7

The whole earth
<0776>

is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,

[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:

they break forth
<06476> (8804)

into singing
<07440>_.

14:8

Yea, the fir trees
<01265>

rejoice
<08055> (8804)

at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>

of Lebanon
<03844>_,

[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,

no feller
<03772> (8802)

is come up
<05927> (8799)

against us.

14:9

Hell
<07585>

from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)

for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)

[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:

it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)

the dead
<07496>

for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>

of the earth
<0776>_;

it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)

from their thrones
<03678>

all the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_.

{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}

14:10

All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)

as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)

unto us?

14:11

Thy pomp
<01347>

is brought down
<03381> (8717)

to the grave
<07585>_,

[and] the noise
<01998>

of thy viols
<05035>_:

the worm
<07415>

is spread
<03331> (8714)

under thee, and the worms
<08438>

cover
<04374>

thee.

14:12

How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

O Lucifer
<01966>_,

son
<01121>

of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!

[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)

to the ground
<0776>_,

which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)

the nations
<01471>_!

{O Lucifer: or, O day star}

14:13

For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

into heaven
<08064>_,

I will exalt
<07311> (8686)

my throne
<03678>

above
<04605>

the stars
<03556>

of God
<0410>_:

I will sit
<03427> (8799)

also upon the mount
<02022>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

in the sides
<03411>

of the north
<06828>_:

14:14

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

above the heights
<01116>

of the clouds
<05645>_;

I will be like
<01819> (8691)

the most High
<05945>_.

14:15

Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)

to hell
<07585>_,

to the sides
<03411>

of the pit
<0953>_.

14:16

They that see
<07200> (8802)

thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)

upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)

thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>

that made the earth
<0776>

to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,

that did shake
<07493> (8688)

kingdoms
<04467>_;

14:17

[That] made
<07760> (8804)

the world
<08398>

as a wilderness
<04057>_,

and destroyed
<02040> (8804)

the cities
<05892>

thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)

not the house
<01004>

of his prisoners
<0615>_?

{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}

14:18

All the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_,

[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)

in glory
<03519>_,

every one
<0376>

in his own house
<01004>_.

14:19

But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)

of thy grave
<06913>

like an abominable
<08581> (8737)

branch
<05342>_,

[and as] the raiment
<03830>

of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,

thrust through
<02944> (8794)

with a sword
<02719>_,

that go down
<03381> (8802)

to the stones
<068>

of the pit
<0953>_;

as a carcase
<06297>

trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.

14:20

Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)

with them in burial
<06900>_,

because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)

thy land
<0776>_,

[and] slain
<02026> (8804)

thy people
<05971>_:

the seed
<02233>

of evildoers
<07489> (8688)

shall never
<05769>

be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.

14:21

Prepare
<03559> (8685)

slaughter
<04293>

for his children
<01121>

for the iniquity
<05771>

of their fathers
<01>_;

that they do not
<01077>

rise
<06965> (8799)_,

nor possess
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

nor fill
<04390> (8804)

the face
<06440>

of the world
<08398>

with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.

14:22

For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)

against them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Babylon
<0894>

the name
<08034>_,

and remnant
<07605>_,

and son
<05209>_,

and nephew
<05220>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

14:23

I will also make
<07760> (8804)

it a possession
<04180>

for the bittern
<07090>_,

and pools
<098>

of water
<04325>_:

and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)

it with the besom
<04292>

of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

14:24

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Surely as I have thought
<01819> (8765)_,

so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed
<03289> (8804)_,

[so] shall it stand
<06965> (8799)_:

14:25

That I will break
<07665> (8800)

the Assyrian
<0804>

in my land
<0776>_,

and upon my mountains
<02022>

tread him under foot
<0947> (8799)_:

then shall his yoke
<05923>

depart
<05493> (8804)

from off them, and his burden
<05448>

depart
<05493> (8799)

from off their shoulders
<07926>_.

14:26

This [is] the purpose
<06098>

that is purposed
<03289> (8803)

upon the whole earth
<0776>_:

and this [is] the hand
<03027>

that is stretched out
<05186> (8803)

upon all the nations
<01471>_.

14:27

For the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath purposed
<03289> (8804)_,

and who shall disannul
<06565> (8686)

[it]? and his hand
<03027>

[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)_,

and who shall turn it back
<07725> (8686)_?

14:28

In the year
<08141>

that king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

died
<04194>

was this burden
<04853>_.

14:29

Rejoice
<08055> (8799)

not thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,

because the rod
<07626>

of him that smote
<05221> (8688)

thee is broken
<07665> (8738)_:

for out of the serpent's
<05175>

root
<08328>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

a cockatrice
<06848>_,

and his fruit
<06529>

[shall be] a fiery
<08314> (0)

flying
<05774> (8789)

serpent
<08314>_.

{cockatrice: or, adder}

14:30

And the firstborn
<01060>

of the poor
<01800>

shall feed
<07462> (8804)_,

and the needy
<034>

shall lie down
<07257> (8799)

in safety
<0983>_:

and I will kill
<04191> (8689)

thy root
<08328>

with famine
<07458>_,

and he shall slay
<02026> (8799)

thy remnant
<07611>_.

14:31

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

O gate
<08179>_;

cry
<02199> (8798)_,

O city
<05892>_;

thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,

[art] dissolved
<04127> (8738)_:

for there shall come
<0935> (8804)

from the north
<06828>

a smoke
<06227>_,

and none [shall be] alone
<0909> (8802)

in his appointed times
<04151>_.

{none...: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed...: or, assemblies}

14:32

What shall [one] then answer
<06030> (8799)

the messengers
<04397>

of the nation
<01471>_?

That the LORD
<03068>

hath founded
<03245> (8765)

Zion
<06726>_,

and the poor
<06041>

of his people
<05971>

shall trust
<02620> (8799)

in it. {trust...: or, betake themselves unto it}

15:1

The burden
<04853>

of Moab
<04124>_.

Because in the night
<03915>

Ar
<06144>

of Moab
<04124>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;

because in the night
<03915>

Kir
<07024>

of Moab
<04124>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;

{brought...: or, cut off}

15:2

He is gone up
<05927> (8804)

to Bajith
<01006>_,

and to Dibon
<01769>_,

the high places
<01116>_,

to weep
<01065>_:

Moab
<04124>

shall howl
<03213> (8686)

over Nebo
<05015>_,

and over Medeba
<04311>_:

on all their heads
<07218>

[shall be] baldness
<07144>_,

[and] every beard
<02206>

cut off
<01438> (8803)_.

15:3

In their streets
<02351>

they shall gird
<02296> (8804)

themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:

on the tops
<01406>

of their houses, and in their streets
<07339>_,

every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_,

weeping
<01065>

abundantly
<03381> (8802)_.

{weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}

15:4

And Heshbon
<02809>

shall cry
<02199> (8799)_,

and Elealeh
<0500>_:

their voice
<06963>

shall be heard
<08085> (8738)

[even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_:

therefore the armed soldiers
<02502> (8803)

of Moab
<04124>

shall cry out
<07321> (8686)_;

his life
<05315>

shall be grievous
<03415> (8804)

unto him.

15:5

My heart
<03820>

shall cry out
<02199> (8799)

for Moab
<04124>_;

his fugitives
<01280>

[shall flee] unto Zoar
<06820>_,

an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<07992>_:

for by the mounting up
<04608>

of Luhith
<03872>

with weeping
<01065>

shall they go it up
<05927> (8799)_;

for in the way
<01870>

of Horonaim
<02773>

they shall raise up
<05782> (8787)

a cry
<02201>

of destruction
<07667>_.

{his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

15:6

For the waters
<04325>

of Nimrim
<05249>

shall be desolate
<04923>_:

for the hay
<02682>

is withered away
<03001> (8804)_,

the grass
<01877>

faileth
<03615> (8804)_,

there is no green thing
<03418>_.

{desolate: Heb. desolations}

15:7

Therefore the abundance
<03502>

they have gotten
<06213> (8804)_,

and that which they have laid up
<06486>_,

shall they carry away
<05375> (8799)

to the brook
<05158>

of the willows
<06155>_.

{brook...: or, valley of the Arabians}

15:8

For the cry
<02201>

is gone round about
<05362> (8689)

the borders
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_;

the howling
<03215>

thereof unto Eglaim
<097>_,

and the howling
<03215>

thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>_.

15:9

For the waters
<04325>

of Dimon
<01775>

shall be full
<04390> (8804)

of blood
<01818>_:

for I will bring
<07896> (8799)

more
<03254> (8737)

upon Dimon
<01775>_,

lions
<0738>

upon him that escapeth
<06413>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and upon the remnant
<07611>

of the land
<0127>_.

{more: Heb. additions}

16:1

Send
<07971> (8798)

ye the lamb
<03733>

to the ruler
<04910> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

from Sela
<05554>

to the wilderness
<04057>_,

unto the mount
<02022>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

{Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}

16:2

For it shall be, [that], as a wandering
<05074> (8802)

bird
<05775>

cast out
<07971> (8794)

of the nest
<07064>_,

[so] the daughters
<01323>

of Moab
<04124>

shall be at the fords
<04569>

of Arnon
<0769>_.

{cast...: or, a nest forsaken}

16:3

Take
<0935> (8685)

counsel
<06098>_,

execute
<06213> (8798)

judgment
<06415>_;

make
<07896> (8798)

thy shadow
<06738>

as the night
<03915>

in the midst
<08432>

of the noonday
<06672>_;

hide
<05641> (8761)

the outcasts
<05080> (8737)_;

bewray
<01540> (8762)

not him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.

{Take: Heb. Bring}

16:4

Let mine outcasts
<05080> (8737)

dwell
<01481> (8799)

with thee, Moab
<04124>_;

be
<01933> (8798)

thou a covert
<05643>

to them from the face
<06440>

of the spoiler
<07703> (8802)_:

for the extortioner
<04160> (8801)

is at an end
<0656> (8804)_,

the spoiler
<07701>

ceaseth
<03615> (8804)_,

the oppressors
<07429> (8802)

are consumed
<08552> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>_.

{extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}

16:5

And in mercy
<02617>

shall the throne
<03678>

be established
<03559> (8717)_:

and he shall sit
<03427> (8804)

upon it in truth
<0571>

in the tabernacle
<0168>

of David
<01732>_,

judging
<08199> (8802)_,

and seeking
<01875> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

and hasting
<04106>

righteousness
<06664>_.

{established: or, prepared}

16:6

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

of the pride
<01347>

of Moab
<04124>_;

[he is] very
<03966>

proud
<01341>_:

[even] of his haughtiness
<01346>_,

and his pride
<01347>_,

and his wrath
<05678>_:

[but] his lies
<0907>

[shall] not [be] so.

16:7

Therefore shall Moab
<04124>

howl
<03213> (8686)

for Moab
<04124>_,

every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_:

for the foundations
<0808>

of Kirhareseth
<07025>

shall ye mourn
<01897> (8799)_;

surely [they are] stricken
<05218>_.

{mourn: or, mutter}

16:8

For the fields
<07709>

of Heshbon
<02809>

languish
<0535> (8797)_,

[and] the vine
<01612>

of Sibmah
<07643>_:

the lords
<01167>

of the heathen
<01471>

have broken down
<01986> (8804)

the principal plants
<08291>

thereof, they are come
<05060> (8804)

[even] unto Jazer
<03270>_,

they wandered
<08582> (8804)

[through] the wilderness
<04057>_:

her branches
<07976>

are stretched out
<05203> (8738)_,

they are gone over
<05674> (8804)

the sea
<03220>_.

{stretched...: or, plucked up}

16:9

Therefore I will bewail
<01058> (8799)

with the weeping
<01065>

of Jazer
<03270>

the vine
<01612>

of Sibmah
<07643>_:

I will water
<07301> (8762)

thee with my tears
<01832>_,

O Heshbon
<02809>_,

and Elealeh
<0500>_:

for the shouting
<01959>

for thy summer fruits
<07019>

and for thy harvest
<07105>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_.

{the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}

16:10

And gladness
<08057>

is taken away
<0622> (8738)_,

and joy
<01524>

out of the plentiful field
<03759>_;

and in the vineyards
<03754>

there shall be no singing
<07442> (8792)_,

neither shall there be shouting
<07321> (8783)_:

the treaders
<01869> (8802)

shall tread out
<01869> (8799)

no wine
<03196>

in [their] presses
<03342>_;

I have made [their vintage] shouting
<01959>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_.

16:11

Wherefore my bowels
<04578>

shall sound
<01993> (8799)

like an harp
<03658>

for Moab
<04124>_,

and mine inward parts
<07130>

for Kirharesh
<07025>_.

16:12

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
<07200> (8738)

that Moab
<04124>

is weary
<03811> (8738)

on the high place
<01116>_,

that he shall come
<0935> (8804)

to his sanctuary
<04720>

to pray
<06419> (8692)_;

but he shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_.

16:13

This [is] the word
<01697>

that the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning Moab
<04124>

since that time
<0227>_.

16:14

But now the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Within three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

as the years
<08141>

of an hireling
<07916>_,

and the glory
<03519>

of Moab
<04124>

shall be contemned
<07034> (8738)_,

with all that great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_;

and the remnant
<07605>

[shall be] very
<04592>

small
<04213>

[and] feeble
<03808> <03524>_.

{feeble: or, not many}

17:1

The burden
<04853>

of Damascus
<01834>_.

Behold, Damascus
<01834>

is taken away
<05493> (8716)

from [being] a city
<05892>_,

and it shall be a ruinous
<04654>

heap
<04596>_.

17:2

The cities
<05892>

of Aroer
<06177>

[are] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_:

they shall be for flocks
<05739>_,

which shall lie down
<07257> (8804)_,

and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.

17:3

The fortress
<04013>

also shall cease
<07673> (8738)

from Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the kingdom
<04467>

from Damascus
<01834>_,

and the remnant
<07605>

of Syria
<0758>_:

they shall be as the glory
<03519>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

17:4

And in that day
<03117>

it shall come to pass, [that] the glory
<03519>

of Jacob
<03290>

shall be made thin
<01809> (8735)_,

and the fatness
<04924>

of his flesh
<01320>

shall wax lean
<07329> (8735)_.

17:5

And it shall be as when the harvestman
<07105>

gathereth
<0622> (8800)

the corn
<07054>_,

and reapeth
<07114> (8799)

the ears
<07641>

with his arm
<02220>_;

and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> (8764)

ears
<07641>

in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

17:6

Yet gleaning grapes
<05955>

shall be left
<07604> (8738)

in it, as the shaking
<05363>

of an olive tree
<02132>_,

two
<08147>

[or] three
<07969>

berries
<01620>

in the top
<07218>

of the uppermost bough
<0534>_,

four
<0702>

[or] five
<02568>

in the outmost fruitful
<06509> (8802)

branches
<05585>

thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

17:7

At that day
<03117>

shall a man
<0120>

look
<08159> (8799)

to his Maker
<06213> (8802)_,

and his eyes
<05869>

shall have respect
<07200> (8799)

to the Holy
<06918>

One of Israel
<03478>_.

17:8

And he shall not look
<08159> (8799)

to the altars
<04196>_,

the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

neither shall respect
<07200> (8799)

[that] which his fingers
<0676>

have made
<06213> (8804)_,

either the groves
<0842>_,

or the images
<02553>_.

{images: or, sun images}

17:9

In that day
<03117>

shall his strong
<04581>

cities
<05892>

be as a forsaken
<05800> (8803)

bough
<02793>_,

and an uppermost branch
<0534>_,

which they left
<05800> (8804)

because
<06440>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and there shall be desolation
<08077>_.

17:10

Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

the God
<0430>

of thy salvation
<03468>_,

and hast not been mindful
<02142> (8804)

of the rock
<06697>

of thy strength
<04581>_,

therefore shalt thou plant
<05193> (8799)

pleasant
<05282>

plants
<05194>_,

and shalt set
<02232> (8799)

it with strange
<02114> (8801)

slips
<02156>_:

17:11

In the day
<03117>

shalt thou make thy plant
<05194>

to grow
<07735> (8770)_,

and in the morning
<01242>

shalt thou make thy seed
<02233>

to flourish
<06524> (8686)_:

[but] the harvest
<07105>

[shall be] a heap
<05067>

in the day
<03117>

of grief
<02470> (8737)

and of desperate
<0605> (8803)

sorrow
<03511>_.

{a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}

17:12

Woe
<01945>

to the multitude
<01995>

of many
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

[which] make a noise
<01993> (8799)

like the noise
<01993> (8800)

of the seas
<03220>_;

and to the rushing
<07588>

of nations
<03816>_,

[that] make a rushing like the rushing
<07582> (8735)

of mighty
<03524>

waters
<04325>_!

{multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}

17:13

The nations
<03816>

shall rush
<07582> (8735)

like the rushing
<07588>

of many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_:

but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> (8804)

them, and they shall flee
<05127> (8804)

far off
<04801>_,

and shall be chased
<07291> (8795)

as the chaff
<04671>

of the mountains
<02022>

before
<06440>

the wind
<07307>_,

and like a rolling thing
<01534>

before
<06440>

the whirlwind
<05492>_.

{a rolling...: or, thistledown}

17:14

And behold at eveningtide
<06256> <06153>

trouble
<01091>_;

[and] before the morning
<01242>

he [is] not. This [is] the portion
<02506>

of them that spoil
<08154> (8802)

us, and the lot
<01486>

of them that rob
<0962> (8802)

us.
