Isaiah 16:3-5
Tree of Life Version
3 ‘Give counsel, execute justice.
Cast your shadow like night at noonday.
Hide the refugees,
do not betray the fugitive.
4 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.
5 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]

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.
