###### 1

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.
|
||
|
|
|

###### 2
|

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

|

"Bring _us_ counsel, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide those banished, do not reveal the one who flees.
|

|

###### 4
|
||
|
|
Let the banished of Moab sojourn with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely _disappeared_ from the land.

And a throne will be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in truth in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.

Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.

For the fields of Heshbon have languished, the vines of Sibmah _as well_; 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
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.
|

|
|

###### 10

|
Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful orchard; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or shouts of jubilation, No treader treads out wine in the presses, _For_ I have made the shouting to cease.
|

###### 11

So it will be when Moab appears, When he wearies himself upon _his_ high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.

This is the word which Yahweh spoke earlier concerning Moab.

###### 14

|
But now Yahweh speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be dishonored along with all _his_ great population, and _his_ remnant will be very small _and_ not mighty."
