1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is not the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock? 2 For thou shalt be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: even thou shalt be so , daughter of Moab: and then do thou, O Arnon, 3 take farther counsel, and continually make thou a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not thou led captive. 4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with thee; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for thine alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth. 5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgements, and hasting righteousness. Isaiah 16:1-5, Brenton Septuagint Translation. Public domain.
