Isaiah 16:3-5
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 Take counsel, gather a council: make thy shadow as the night in the midday: hide them that flee, and betray not them that wander about.
4 My fugitives shall dwell with thee: O Moab, be thou a covert to them from the face of the destroyer: for the dust is at an end, the wretch is consumed: he hath failed, that trod the earth under foot.
5 And a throne shall be prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.

Isaiah 16:3-5
New International Version
3 “Make up your mind,” Moab says.
“Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(A)
do not betray the refugees.
4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
be their shelter(B) from the destroyer.”
The oppressor(C) will come to an end,
and destruction will cease;(D)
the aggressor will vanish from the land.
5 In love a throne(E) will be established;(F)
in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
one from the house[a] of David(G)—
one who in judging seeks justice(H)
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
