16:1 Moav has no remaining hope

16 Send a ram to Yehudah’s ruler

from Sela in the wilderness to the mount of the daughter of Tsiyyon (Zion).

2 Then just like birds flutter away from a nest that’s disturbed,

so too the Moav women will head to the fords at the Arnon river.

2 And_it _was like_a _bird fluttering a _nest sent _away they _will _be the _daughters _of Mōʼāⱱ the_fords of_ʼArnōn.
3 Bring[fn] counsel make a _decision make like_night shade _of_your in _the_middle the_noon(s) hide banished_ones a _fugitive do _not expose.
4 Let _them _sojourn among_you my _banished _of_ones Mōʼāⱱ become a _shelter for_them from_face/in _front _of the_destroyer if/because he _will _come _to _an _end the_oppressor devastation it _will _cease they _will _be _finished the_trampler from the_earth/land.
5 And_it _will _be _established in _(the)_loyalty a _throne and_he _will _sit on/upon/above_him/it in_faithfulness in_the _tent _of Dāvid one _who_judges and_one _who_seeks justice and_one_prompt _of righteousness.
6 We _have _heard the _pride _of Mōʼāⱱ proud very haughtiness _of_its and_its _of_pride and_its _of_arrogance are_not right boasts _of_its _empty.
7 for_so/thus/hence Mōʼāⱱ it _will _wail for_Mōʼāⱱ of _it _of_all it _will _wail for_the _raisin-cakes _of Qīr you(pl)_will _groan only stricken _people.
8 If/because the _terraced _fields _of Ḩeshbōn it _has _languished the _vine[s]_of Səⱱām rulers _of nations they _have _struck _down its _choice _of_grapes to Yaˊzēr/(Jazer) they _reached they _wandered the_wilderness shoots _of_its they _were _spread _out they _passed _over the_sea.
9 Therefore yes/correct/thus/so I _weep with_the _weeping _of Yaˊzēr the _vine[s]_of Səⱱām I_water _you _abundantly tear[s]_of_my Oh _Ḩeshbōn and_ʼElˊālēh if/because on fruit _of_your _summer and_on harvest _of_your shouting it _has _fallen.
10 And_ gladness _it _will _be _removed and_rejoicing from the_orchard and_in_vineyards not anything _will _be _sung not anything _will _be _shouted wine in_winepresses not he _will _tread the_ shouting _treader[s] I _have _made _to _cease.
11 Therefore yes/correct/thus/so parts _of_my _inward for_Mōʼāⱱ like_harp they _make _a _sound and_my _inner _of_being for ḩeres.
12 And_it _was if/because it _has _presented _itself if/because it _has _wearied _itself Mōʼāⱱ on the _high_place and_it _will _come to sanctuary _of_its to_pray and_not it _will _prevail.
13 This is_the_message which he _has _spoken YHWH concerning Mōʼāⱱ from_then.
14 And_now YHWH he _says to_say in_three years like_the_years _of a _hired _labourer and_ the _honour _of _it _will _be _lightly _esteemed of _Mōʼāⱱ for_all _of the_multitude (the)_great and_a _remnant little fewness will _be_not mighty.
