Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land,
From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings,
The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.

Cast your shadow like night at high noon;
Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.

Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”

And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David;

You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.

Isaiah 16:8

The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.

Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.

When he wearies himself upon his high place
And comes to his sanctuary to pray,
That he will not prevail.
