Isaiah 16:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ They say: “Help us.
    Tell us what to do.
Protect us from our enemies
    as shade protects us from the noon sun.
Hide us because we are running for safety!
    Don’t give us to our enemies.
⁴ Let those of us who were forced out of Moab live in your land.
    Hide us from our enemies.”

The robbing of Moab will stop.
    The enemy will be defeated.
    The men who hurt others will disappear from the land.
⁵ Then a new loyal king will come.
    This faithful king will be from the family of David.
He will judge fairly.
    He wants to do what is right.
