Isaiah 16:1-5

1Send lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mountain of Daughter Zion.

2Like a bird fleeing, forced from the nest, the daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.

3Give us counsel and make a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade that is as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.

4Let my refugees stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the aggressor. When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ended, and marauders have vanished from the land,

5a throne will be established in love, and one will sit on it faithfully in the tent of David, judging and pursuing what is right, quick to execute justice.
