Isaiah 16:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Let my banished dwell with thee: Moab, be thou their covert from the face of the destroyer: for the extortioner [a]shall end: the destroyer shall be consumed, and the oppressor shall cease out of the land.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be prepared, [b]and he shall sit upon it in steadfastness, in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting justice.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab (he is very proud) even his pride, and his arrogancy, and his indignation, but his [c]lies shall not be so.
