NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 16

Prophecy of Moab's Devastation

1

 aSendh7971 the tribute lambh3733c to the rulerh4910 of the landh776, From  1 bSelah5554 by way of the wildernessh4057b to the  cmountainh2022 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726.

2

Then, like  1 afleeingh5074 birdsh5775 or scatteredh7971  2nestlingsh7064, The daughtersh1323 of  bMoabh4124 will be at the fordsh4569b of the  cArnonh769.

3

1Giveh935 us adviceh6098, makeh6213a a decisionh6415;  2Casth7896 your  ashadowh6738 like nighth3915  3at highh8432 noonh6672a;  bHideh5641 the outcastsh5080, do not betrayh1540 the fugitiveh5074.

4

"Let the  1outcastsh5080 of Moabh4124 stayh1481a with you; Be a hidingh5643 placeh5643a to them from the destroyerh7703." For the extortionerh4671a has comeh656 to an endh656, destructionh7701 has ceasedh3615,  aOppressorsh7429 have completelyh8552 disappeared from the landh776.

5

A  athroneh3678 will even be establishedh3559 in lovingkindnessh2617a, And a judgeh8199 will sith3427 on it in faithfulnessh571 in the tenth168 of  bDavidh1732; Moreover, he will seekh1875 justiceh4941 And be prompth4106 in righteousnessh6664.

6

 aWe have heardh8085 of the prideh1347b of Moabh4124, an excessiveh3966 prideh1343; Even of his arroganceh1346, prideh1347b, and furyh5678;  bHis idleh907 boastsh907 are  1falseh3808h3653.

7

Thereforeh3651 Moabh4124 will wailh3213; everyoneh3605 of Moabh4124 will wailh3213. You will moanh1897 for the  araisinh809 cakesh809 of  bKir-haresethh7025 As those whoh5218a are utterlyh389 strickenh5218a.

8

For the fieldsh7709 of  aHeshbonh2809 have  1witheredh535, the vinesh1612 of  bSibmahh7643 as well; The lordsh1167 of the nationsh1471 have trampledh1986 downh1986 its choiceh8291 clustersh8291 Which reachedh5060 as farh5704 as Jazerh3270 and wanderedh8582 to the desertsh4057b;  cIts tendrilsh7976 spreadh5203 themselves out and passedh5674a overh5674a the seah3220.

9

Thereforeh5921h3651 I will  aweeph1058 bitterlyh1065 for Jazerh3270, for the vineh1612 of Sibmahh7643; I will drenchh7301 you with my tearsh1832, O  bHeshbonh2809 and Elealehh500; For the shoutingh1959 overh5921 your  csummerh7019c fruitsh7019c and your harvesth7105a has fallenh5307 awayh5307.

10

 aGladnessh8057 and joyh1524a are takenh622 awayh622 from the fruitfulh3759 fieldh3759; In the  bvineyardsh3754 also there will be noh3808 criesh7442 of joyh7442 or jubilanth7321 shoutingh7321, Noh3808  ctreaderh1869 treadsh1869 out wineh3196 in the pressesh3342, For I have made the shoutingh1959 to ceaseh7673a.

11

Thereforeh5921h3651 my  1 ahearth4578 intonesh1993 like a harph3658 for Moabh4124 And my  2inwardh7130 feelingsh7130 for Kir-haresethh7025.

12

So it will comeh1961 about whenh3588 Moabh4124  apresentsh7200 himself, Whenh3588 he  bweariesh3811 himself upon his  chighh1116 placeh1116 And comesh935 to his sanctuaryh4720 to prayh6419, That he will not prevailh3201.

13

Thish2088 is the wordh1697 whichh834 the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 earlierh3975b concerningh413 Moabh4124.

14

But nowh6258 the LORDh3068 speaksh1696, sayingh559, "Within threeh7969 yearsh8141, as  1 aa hiredh7916 manh7916 would counth8141 them, the gloryh3519b of  bMoabh4124 will be degradedh7034 along with allh3605 his greath7227a populationh1995, and his remnanth7605 will be veryh4213 smallh4592 and  2impotenth3808h3524."
