One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness. 016:006 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing. 016:007 Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken. 016:008 For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea. 016:009 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen. 016:010 Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop. 016:011 Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres. 016:012 It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail. 016:013 This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab in time past. 016:014 But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble." 017:001 The burden of Damascus: "Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap. 017:002 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 017:003 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel," says Yahweh of Armies. 017:004 "It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean. 017:005 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim. 017:006 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says Yahweh, the God of Israel. 017:007 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel. 017:008 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands;
