Bible textSynthetic voice (AI)
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. See also: Isaiah 10:322 Kings 3:42 Kings 14:7For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon. See also: Proverbs 27:8Judges 11:18Deuteronomy 3:8Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive! See also: Isaiah 32:21 Kings 18:4Matthew 25:35Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land. See also: Isaiah 14:4Isaiah 51:13Malachi 4:3A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness. See also: Daniel 7:14Micah 4:7Isaiah 9:6-7We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing. See also: Amos 2:1Obadiah 1:3-4Jeremiah 48:29-30Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken. See also: 2 Kings 3:25Jeremiah 48:201 Chronicles 16:3For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea. See also: Isaiah 15:4Numbers 32:38Jeremiah 27:6-7Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen. See also: Jeremiah 40:12Isaiah 15:4-5Jeremiah 40:10Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop. See also: Jeremiah 48:33Judges 9:27Amos 5:17Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres. See also: Isaiah 15:5Hosea 11:8Isaiah 63:15It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail. See also: Isaiah 15:2Jeremiah 48:351 Kings 18:29This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past. See also: Isaiah 44:8But now the LORD has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.” See also: Jeremiah 48:42Isaiah 21:16Jeremiah 48:46-47

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
