Isaiah 16:7
Compare all
5 In mercy athe throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
bJudging and seeking justice and hastening crighteousness.” 
6 We have heard of the apride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
bBut his1 lies shall not be so. 
7 Therefore Moab shall awail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations bof Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken. 
8 For athe fields of Heshbon languish,
And bthe vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the csea. 
9 Therefor1e I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
aO Heshbon and Elealeh;
For battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest. 
10 aGladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease. 
11 Therefore amy heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for1 Kir Heres. 
12 And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on athe high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.  
13 This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time.

Isaiah 16:7

For the foundations of Kir-hareseth "For the men of Kirhares" - A palpable mistake in this place is happily corrected by the parallel text of Jeremiah 48:31, where, instead of ashishey , foundations or flagons, we read anshey , men. In the same place of Jeremiah, and in Jeremiah 48:36, and here in Isaiah 16:11, the name of the city is Kirhares, not Kirhareseth.
