1	Send# ye the lamb to the ruler# of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. [Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock]
			2	For 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. [cast...: or, a nest forsaken]
			3	Take# counsel, execute# judgment; make# thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide# the outcasts# ; bewray# not him that wandereth# . [Take: Heb. Bring]
			4	Let 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. [extortioner: Heb. wringer] [the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down]
			5	And 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. [established: or, prepared]
			6	We 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.
			7	Therefore shall Moab howl# for Moab, every one shall howl# : for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn# ; surely they are stricken. [mourn: or, mutter]
			8	For 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. [stretched...: or, plucked up]
			9	Therefore 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# . [the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc]
			10	And 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# .
			11	Wherefore my bowels shall sound# like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
			12	And 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# .
			13	This is the word that the LORD hath spoken# concerning Moab since that time.
			14	But 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# . [feeble: or, not many]
