Isaiah 16:3-5
Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 16:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 “Bring counsel,
make a decision;
make your shade like the night
in the middle of noonday.
Hide the outcasts;
you must not betray the fugitive.
4 Let my outcasts of Moab dwell as aliens among you;
be a hiding place for them from the presence of the destroyer.”
When the oppressor is no more, destruction has stopped,
the one who tramples has[a] disappeared from the land,
5 then a throne shall be established in steadfast love,
and one shall sit on it in faithfulness, in the tent of David,
judging and seeking justice
and zealous for righteousness.

be their shelter(B) from the destroyer.”

and destruction will cease;(D)

in faithfulness a man will sit on it—

one who in judging seeks justice(H)
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
