of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
Isaiah 16:8
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of
the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come
even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are
stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
Isaiah 16:9
9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I
will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for
thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
Isaiah 16:10

the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting:

vintage shouting to cease.

time.

an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great

lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley
of Rephaim.

two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the
outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect
to the Holy One of Israel.

respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and
there shall be desolation.

mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant
plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt
thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day
of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Isaiah 17:12
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of
the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the
rushing of mighty waters!
Isaiah 17:13
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall
rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff
of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the
whirlwind.
Isaiah 17:14
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This
is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

Ethiopia:
Isaiah 18:2
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the
waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled,
to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out
and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet,
hear ye.

my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in
the heat of harvest.

ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks,
and take away and cut down the branches.

beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the
beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a
people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the
rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts,
the mount Zion.
