Isaiah 16:1-5

1SendH7971 ye the lambH3733 to the rulerH4910 of the landH776 from SelaH5554 to the wildernessH4057, unto the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.1

2For it shall be, that, as a wanderingH5074 birdH5775 cast outH7971 of the nestH7064, so the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124 shall be at the fordsH4569 of ArnonH769.2

3TakeH935 counselH6098, executeH6213 judgmentH6415; makeH7896 thy shadowH6738 as the nightH3915 in the midstH8432 of the noondayH6672; hideH5641 the outcastsH5080; betrayH1540 not him that wanderethH5074.3

4Let mine outcastsH5080 dwellH1481 with thee, MoabH4124; beH1933 thou a covertH5643 to them from the faceH6440 of the spoilerH7703: for the extortionerH4160 is at an endH656, the spoilerH7701 ceasethH3615, the oppressorsH7429 are consumedH8552 out of the landH776.45

5And in mercyH2617 shall the throneH3678 be establishedH3559: and he shall sitH3427 upon it in truthH571 in the tabernacleH168 of DavidH1732, judgingH8199, and seekingH1875 judgmentH4941, and hastingH4106 righteousnessH6664.6
