XVI. 1 I will send as it were creeping things upon the earth: is the mount of Zion a desolate rock?

[*](3. Omit ‘and in her highways’)[*](4. ‘Elealeh’: AQ 26 106 233 301 and a few others read a somewhat similar Greek word meaning ‘hath’ ’: so also in xvi. 9 ἐλάλησεν for Ἐλεαλή). Β has been altered to this, and R combines both readings. ‘until... heard’ so ℵcaAQ: ‘their voice was heard unto ’ B (8); reading ABBREVfor ABBREVof Heb. word.)[*](6. ‘shall be a desolation.’ B; omit ℵ*)[*](8. ‘border of the land of M.’ ℵBQ θc.

2 For thou shalt be as a nestling taken away, when a bird ﬂieth up, daughter of Moab: against thee, Amon, yet further

3 Take counsel, and make a shelter from trouble for thyself continually; in midday darkness they ﬂee, they are amazed; (see) lest thou be an exile.

4 The exiles shall sojourn <with thee> Moab; for they shall be a shelter to you from the face of a pursuer; for thine alliance is taken away, misery is fulfilled, and the ruler is perished that did trample upon the earth.

5 And a throne shall be established with mercy, and he shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking out judgment, and hasting righteousness.

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; very proud is he; thou hast up his haughtiness. Not thus is thy prophesying, not thus.

7 Moab shall wail; fOr in the land of Moab shall all wail; thou shalt take care for them that dwell in Deseth, and shalt not regard them.

8 The plains of Heshbon shall mourn, and the vine of Sibmah; swallowing up the nations, tread ye down her vines, unto Jazer; ye shall not reach, nor wander in the wilderness; they that were sent forth were forsaken; for they crossed over the desert.

9 Therefore will I weep as the weeping of Jazer, for the vine ’ of Sibmah; he cast down thy trees, Heshbon, and <Elealeh>; upon thy harvest and thy vintage will I tread, and all shall fall.
