OF ISRAEL
Gop REGARDED.
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 w wine in their xpresses ;
I -have_made their vintage shout- ing to_cease.
11 Wherefore my bowels shall_sound like a xharp 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 sanctu- ary to pray ;
But he shall not prevail.
13 This is the word that Jthe Lorp ‘hath_spoken concerning Moab since that_time.
14 But now J the Lorp -hath_spoken, saying
Within ieiree years, as the_years_of a hireling, and the_glory_of Moab shall _ be _contemned, with all that great xmultitude ;
And the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
1 THE_burden_of Damascus. 7 Behold, Damascus is — taken _ away from being a city, And it -shall_be a ruinous heap. 2 The_cities_of Aroer are forsaken : They shall_be for flocks, which -shall_lie_down, And none «shall _make - them _ afraid.
3 The fortress also -shall_cease from Ephraim,
. And the kingdom from Damascus, and the_remnant_of Syria :
They shall_be as the_glory_of the_ schildren_of Israél, +saith J the Lorp of_hosts.
4 And in xthat xday it -shall come_ to_pass, that the_glory_of Jacob shall_be_made_thin,
And the_fatness_of his flesh shall wax_lean.
5 And it -shall_be as when the har- vestman gathereth the corn,
And treapeth the ears with his
arm ;
And it -shall_be as he_that_gather- eth ears in the_valley_of Re- phaim.
6 Yet gleaning_grapes -shall_be_left in it, as the_shaking_of an olive_ tree,
Two or three berries in the_top_of the uppermost_bough,
Four or five in the_outmost fruit- ful_branches thereof,
4Saith J the Lorp =God_of Israél.
7 At xthat xday shall a « xman look to his Maker,
And his eyes shall_have_respect to the_Holy_One-_of Israél.
Isaran XVIII. 5 8 And he shall not look to the altars, | B.C. abo
the_work_of his han
Neither shall_respect his fingers have made,
Either the gro’ prove or the svimages.
9 In that xday be as a xforsaken xbough, -
And an xuppermost_branch, which they left because of the_schil- dren_of Israél :
And there -shall_be desolation.
10 Because thou -hast_forgotten the_ =God_of thy salvation,
And -hast not been_mindful_of the_Rock_of thy strength,
Therefore shalt_thou_plant plea- sant p ior)
And shalt_set it with strange slips:
11 Jn the_day shalt_thou_make thy plant to_grow,
And in the morning shalt_thou_ make thy seed to_flourish :
But the harvest shall be a heap in the_day_of grief and of desperate sorrow.
122 Woe to the_multitude_of many =people, which make _a_ noise like the_noise_of the seas ;
And to the_rushing_of nations,
That tmake_a_rushing like the _ rushing_of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall_rush like the_ rushing_of many waters:
But God -shall_rebuke them, and they -shall_flee far off,
And -shall_be_chased as the_chaff_ 7 the mountains before the

anit the fot. of them _that_rob us.
18 WOE to the land shadowing_ with wings,
Which is esis the_rivers _of| 4% %
Ethiopia : 2 xiThat sendeth ambassadors by the
Sea,
Even in vessels_of bulrushes upon the waters, saying,
*Go, ye swift messeng’ ngers,
To a nation scattered and peeled,
To a people terrible from their. beginning «« hitherto ;
A ae meted_out and trodden_
whose land the rivers have spoil-
3 Any Me inhabitants_of the world, And dwellers_on the earth, See ye; when he lifteth “up an en- sign on the mountains : And when he bloweth a trumpet, thear ye. + For so / the Lorp said unto me, I will_take_My_rest, a4 I will_consider in My dwelling_ ace Like a clear heat upon he! And like a cloud_of ee ik the_ “heat_of harvest. 5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is_perfect,
