IsaiYAH 16

Isaiah Foresees Moab's Desperate Survivors1

[As a token of alliance with] the king [of] the country [of Judah, Moab's refugees at the] Sela {Crag-Mount} wilderness send lambs to [Jerusalem. These Moabites respectfully address Jerusalem as]: “the mountain of Zion's daughter.”
Feed your enemies. Or they might eat you.

Like wandering bird[s] hurled out of the nest, 😇, the daughters of [perverted] Moab [languish] at the fords of [the] Arnon {Shout} [river].

[The Moabites beg the Judeans,] “Give [us strategic] advice. Resolve [to help us. Cloak us] with your shadow. Make the middle of noonday as dark as night. Hide [our] outcasts. [Please] don't betray [our] fugitives [to the enemy].

—[Please] let [our] Moabite outcasts live with you [Jews]. Be [our] cover. [Hide us] from the face of the spoiler [Emperor Sennacherib], until the extortioners die, the plunderers quit, and [YAH] devours the [trampling] oppressors off the [promised] land.

—In [His] mercy, [YAH eventually] comes to establish a throne [to rule the world], 😇. [In the future,] an honest judge at last sits in David's tent. [The Messiah] seeks justice. He speeds righteous [action against our common oppressor].”
I read this as the Moabites quoting Hebrew scripture to the Jews, in an attempt to gain shelter from the Assyrian invaders.

[The people of Judah respond,] “We've heard [our fill] of the pride of Moab {Spawn-Of-Incest}, his overweening arrogance, his insolence, his bravado, and his fire-rage. But his boasts [have vanished like] hot air.”

So [the people of] Moab howl for [their country]. Everyone howls. Struck down by grief, [they] mourn over the [smashed] foundations of Kir-Hareseth {Pottery-Fortress}.

The fields of Heshbon {Intelligence} weep. The vine[s] of Sibmah {Spice} [die]. The lords of the beast-nations smash down those [awesome] branches that stretched all the way to Jazer {Helpful}, winding from the desert to the sea.

So, 😇, I, [Isaiah] wail [with] weeping Jazer {Helpful} [and] the Sibmah {Spice} vines. I water you with my tears, Heshbon {Intelligence}, and EL'ealeh {EL-Ascends}. The shouts[s] [of battle] topple your summer fruits. [Soldiers destroy] your harvest.

[Marauders] rob [all] brightness and spinning [joy] from [Moab's] plentiful field, 😇. Gone fly the songs-of-happiness [that delighted] the vineyards. [Silenced lie the] shouts-of-triumph [that filled the skies]. [Dead lie] the treaders in their dry wine-presses. [War] quiets the [pagans'] acclamation.

So my heart throbs for Moab like a harp, 😇. My guts [wrench, seeing the destruction of] Kir-Haresh {Pottery-Fortress}.

Watch and see, 😇: Moab wears [itself out praying] at high-shrine[s]. [Moabites] stream to [their demon-gods'] sanctuary to pray, to no avail.

😇, this [decree matches everything] YHVH ever spoke concerning Moab in the past.
YAH is consistent. His views don't change with societal fads.

Now YHVH speaks, 😇, clarifying that within 3 years [from the death of Judea's king Ahaz], [counting] exactly (as would an indentured servant [marking off his days to freedom), YAH] condemns the glory of [the spawn of incestuous] Moab. [Assyria {North-Iraq} demolishes Moab's] massive populace. [Ravagers] leave only a tiny, weak remnant [of Moabite survivors].
