Isaiah 16:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴Let those who have run away from Moab stay with you.
Keep them safe from those who are trying to destroy them.”

Those who crush others will be destroyed.
    The killing will stop.
    The attackers will disappear from the earth.
⁵A man from the royal house of David will sit on Judah’s throne.
    He will rule with faithful love.
When he judges he will do what is fair.
    He will be quick to do what is right.

⁶We have heard all about Moab’s pride.

    They think they are so much better than others.
They brag about themselves.
    But all their bragging is nothing but empty words.
