Isaiah 16:1-14
Send lambs as tribute to the ruler o the land from Sela, across the desert, to the mount of the Daughter of Zion. Let the Moabite fugitive stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer. - Moab sends to Jerusalem for help, and God urges his people to take the fugitives in.
In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it-- one from the house of David-- one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.
Maob's pride - her overweening pride and conceit, but her boasts are empty.
Therefore the Moabites wail, they wail together for Moab.
This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab. But now the Lord says: "within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble.
Why?
Vineyards of Sibmah: A region famous for its wine- here a symbol of national prosperity.
A person bound by contract works no more than the time contracted for; so,'three years, and barely that.'
The cities of Moab fell to Assyria in successive campaigns. They were to fall again to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
The Lord humbles the pride man and nations with much suffering and destruction. They fell by their pride and conceit.
The Lord establish a throne with Justice and righteous - Jesus Christ.
How?
God's word spoken never return, His word stand from generation to generation. All the arrogant and pride men will be fallen. Mediate myself everyday. To be a humble man and fear the Lord.
