Isaiah 16:4-6
Common English Bible
4 Let the outcasts of Moab live among you.
Be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.
When the oppressor is no more,
when destruction has ceased,
when the trampler has vanished from the land,
5 a throne will be established based on goodness,
and someone will sit faithfully on it in David’s dwelling[a]—
a judge who seeks justice and timely righteousness.
6 We have heard of Moab’s pride,
his great pride,
his outrageous pride and arrogance,
his empty boasting.

one who in judging seeks justice(G)
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
