Isaiah 16:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Isaiah 16:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 ‘Give counsel,
grant justice;
make your shade like night
at the height of noon;
hide the outcasts,
do not betray the fugitive;
4 let the outcasts of Moab
settle among you;
be a refuge to them
from the destroyer.’
When the oppressor is no more,
and destruction has ceased,
and marauders have vanished from the land,
5 then a throne shall be established in steadfast love
in the tent of David,
and on it shall sit in faithfulness
a ruler who seeks justice
and is swift to do what is right.
Isaiah 16:3-5
New International Version
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.
