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.

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.
