“Give counsel;
    grant justice;
(A)make your shade like night
    at the height of noon;
shelter the outcasts;
    do not reveal the fugitive;
let (B)the outcasts of Moab
    sojourn among you;
be a shelter to them[a]
    from the destroyer.
When the oppressor is no more,
    and destruction has ceased,
and he who tramples underfoot has vanished from the land,
(C)then a throne will be established in steadfast love,
    and on it will sit in faithfulness
    in the tent of David
one who judges and seeks justice
    and is swift to do righteousness.”

  1. Isaiah 16:4 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac; Masoretic Text let my outcasts sojourn among you; as for Moab, be a shelter to them

“Make up your mind,” Moab says.
    “Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
    at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(A)
    do not betray the refugees.
Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
    be their shelter(B) from the destroyer.”

The oppressor(C) will come to an end,
    and destruction will cease;(D)
    the aggressor will vanish from the land.
In love a throne(E) will be established;(F)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[a] of David(G)
one who in judging seeks justice(H)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.
