Isaiah 16:1-14
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.
We have heard of Moab's pride - how great is her arrogance! of her conceit, her pride and her insolence(傲慢; )but her boasts are empty. Therefore the Moabites wail, they wail(哀號) together for Moab. Lament and grieve for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
But the Lord says:"Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor(輝) and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."
Now only three short years away. Moab send to Jerusalem for help, and God urges his people to take the fugitives in.
The cities of Moab fell to Assyria in successive campaigns. They were to fall again to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
Why?
For Moab's pride and her arrogance, conceit, her pride and insolence so Moab fall and his people will be despised.
All boasts are empty.
In love a throne will be established, in faithfulness a man will sit on it . This is the Jesus Christ, in God's love and faithfulness Jesus will be sit on the throne.
How?
Be humble, trust in the Lord and honor the holy name of the Lord.
