¶ The .xvi. Chapter. ¶ The destruccyon of Moab.

A   &rhand; Sende þe; Lord of the world a l&abar;be, fr&obar; the rocke þt; lyeth towarde þe; deserte, vnto þe; hil of the daughter Sy&obar;. For as for the daughters of Moab, they shalbe as atr&ebar;blyng byrde, þt; is put out of heruest, for they shal carye them vnto Arnon: gather your co&ubar;cel, come together in iudgem&ebar;t, couer vs &wt; your shadowe in the myddaye, as the nyght doth hyde the chased, and bewraye not them that are fled let my persecuted people dwell am&obar;ge you &rhand; Moab, be thou their refuge against the destroyer: B   for the aduersary is brought to naught, þe; robber is vndone, the tyraunt is waysted out of the land. And in mercy shall the seate be prepared, and he shal syt vp&obar; it in the trueth, &ibar; the tabernacle of Dauid iudgyng and sekyng iudgem&ebar;t, ∧ making hast vnto ryghteousnes. We haue heard of the pryde of Moab, he is very proude, presumpteous, arrogant, and full of indignacyon, ∧ vayne are hys lyes. Therfore shal Moab make lamentaci&obar; because of the Moabites (that shalbe slayne) yee they shal wayle all together. Because of the &rhand; foundacy&obar;s of the citye that is made of brick, shal ye complayne: eu&ebar; &rhand; ye lame people that are left onely behinde.

C   For &rhand; the vynes of Hesbon are cut downe: As for the vyne of Sibma, the Lordes of the Heithen haue broken downe hyr principall bra&ubar;ches: they are come euen vnto Iazer, they w&ebar;t on w&abar;dering vnto þe; wildernesse. Hyr goodly braunches were throwen downe, as they w&ebar;t ouer the see. Therfore will I mourne for Iazer, ∧ for the vyne of Sibma. I will poure my teares vpon the, O Hesb&obar; and Eleale, for the crie of thyne enemyes is fallen vpon thy sommer frutes, and vpon thyne haruest. The Myrth and chere is taken awaye out of the plentifull felde, and in the vyneyardes there shalbe no ioye ner gladnesse.

D   The treader shall treade out no wyne in the presses, þe; song of theyr mery chere haue I layde downe. Wherfore, my bowels shal romble lyke an harpe for Moabs sake, and myne inwarde partes for the cityes sake þt; is made of bryck. And it shal come to passe, that wh&abar; it is sene that Moab shalbe made wery of hys hyll chapels, &rhand; he shall come to his t&ebar;ple to praye, but he shal not be able So then, thys is the say&ebar;g þt; the Lord hath spoken concernyng, Moab sens that tyme. But now the Lord hath spoken sayeng. In thre yeares which shalbe as &rhand; the yeares of an hyred seruaunt: shall the glorye of Moab be turned into c&obar;fusion, thorow out al his multitude, which is very great. And that whych remayneth, shalbe very small and feble.
