7Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.
         You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth
         As those who are utterly stricken.

8For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah as well;
         The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
         Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
         Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

9Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
         I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh;
         For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

10Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;
         In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
         No treader treads out wine in the presses,
         For I have made the shouting to cease.

11Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
         And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.

12So it will come about when Moab presents himself,
         When he wearies himself upon his high place
         And comes to his sanctuary to pray,
         That he will not prevail.

      13This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab. 14But now the LORD speaks, saying, “Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent.”

CHAPTERS I-XXXIX Isaiah is the most regal of the prophets. His words and thoughts are those of a man whose eyes had seen the King, vi. 5. The times in which he lived were big with political problems, which he met as a statesman who saw the large meaning of events, and as a prophet who read a divine purpose in history. Unlike his younger contemporary Micah, he was, in all probability, an aristocrat; and during his long ministry (740-701 B.C., possibly, but not probably later) he bore testimony, as …
