‘Give counsel, execute justice.
Cast your shadow like night at noonday.
Hide the refugees,
    do not betray the fugitive.
Let My refugees stay with you.
Be for Moab a hiding place
    from the face of the destroyer.
For the extortion is at an end,
    devastation ceases,
    oppressors are gone from the land.

A throne will be established in mercy,
and One will sit on it in truth
—in the tent of David—
One who seeks justice
    and is ready for righteousness.[a]
