Isaiah 16:3-5

Modern English Version

³ “Take counsel,
    execute justice,
make your shadow as the night
    at the height of noon.
Hide the outcasts,
    do not betray the fugitive.
⁴ Let my outcasts dwell with you, Moab;
    be a hiding place to them from the face of the destroyer.”

For the extortioner has come to an end;
    the destroyer ceases;
    the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
⁵ In mercy the throne shall be established;
    and one who judges and seeks justice
    and is diligent in righteousness
shall sit on it in truth
    in the tabernacle of David, judging.
