1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion (Siyoni).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, everyone shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
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.
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.
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 a 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 Almighty hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14 But now the Almighty hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
Isaiah Chapter 16 Summary
The chapter comprises a prophetic message delivered by Isaiah, addressing the nation of Moab. Moab is located close to the House of Akobe. The Almighty, through Isaiah, conveys the impending judgment and desolation that Moab will face due to its pride and rebellion.
In this chapter, Isaiah portrays Moab as seeking refuge and assistance from the House of Akobe during a time of great distress. The Creator’s judgment upon Moab is depicted as an inevitable consequence of their arrogance and disobedience. This serves as a stark reminder of the Almighty’s authority over all nations. Both for those near and far, the chapter highlights the significance of humility. It also stresses obedience in the eyes of the Anointed One.
While the chapter foretells Moab’s suffering and downfall, it also conveys the message that the Creator’s justice will ultimately prevail. This prophecy serves to emphasize the contrast between worldly powers and divine sovereignty, stressing the ultimate authority of the Almighty.
This is the summary of Isaiah chapter 16, Glory to the King of the House of Akobe.
