Daily Meditation
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.
Today’s Reading
Isaiah
Chapter 16
And in mercy shall
the throne be established
1 Send ye the lamb
to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the
daughter of Zion. 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, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth 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 an harp for Moab, and mine inward
parts for Kir-haresh. 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 Lord hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. 14 But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
