The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be a shelter to you from the face of the pursuer; for your alliance has been taken away, and the ruler who trampled upon the land has perished.
And a throne shall be set right with mercy, and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tent of Dauid, judging and seeking judgement and pursuing righteousness.
The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama. You who swallow up the nations, trample down her vines as far as Iazer. You shall not join together; wander in the wilderness. Those who were sent have been forsaken, for they crossed the wilderness.
Therefore I will weep as with the weeping of Iazer for the vine of Sebama. Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for upon your harvest and upon your vintage I will tread, and all shall fall.
And gladness and exultation shall be taken away from your vineyards; and in your vineyards they shall not rejoice, nor shall they tread wine into the vats, for it has ceased.
And it shall be to your shame; for Moab has wearied himself upon the high altars, and shall enter her handmade idols to pray, and they shall not be able to deliver him.
16:13
τοῦτοτὸῥῆμαὃἐλάλησενκύριοςἐπὶΜωαβὁπότεκαὶἐλάλησεν
這是主論摩押所說的話,就是他從前說話的時候所說的。
This is the word that the Lord spoke against Moab, when he also spoke it.
And now I say: In three years, the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured, with all its great wealth; and there shall be left a very small remnant, and not honoured.
