Isaiah 16:1-5 ▼

1 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

2 And it will come to pass that, like a fluttering bird or a nestling cast out, so shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

3 “Bring in counsel; make judgment; set like the night your shadow in the middle of noontime. Hide those driven away, do not uncover the one fleeing.

4 Let sojourn among you the outcasts of Moab; be a shelter for them from the face of the destroyer.” For the extortioner comes to an end and destruction ceases; the tramplers of the land are finished off.

5 And in loving devotion a throne will be established, and one will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David—one judging and seeking justice, and hastening righteousness.
