Isaiah 16:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴Let those who have run away from Moab stay with you.
Keep them safe from those who are trying to destroy them.”

Those who crush others will be destroyed.
    The killing will stop.
    The attackers will disappear from the earth.
⁵A man from the royal house of David will sit on Judah’s throne.
    He will rule with faithful love.
When he judges he will do what is fair.
    He will be quick to do what is right.

⁶We have heard all about Moab’s pride.
    We have heard how very proud they are.
    They think they are so much better than others.
They brag about themselves.
    But all their bragging is nothing but empty words.

Isaiah 16:4-6

New International Version

⁴Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
be their shelter^(A) from the destroyer.”

The oppressor^(B) will come to an end,
    and destruction will cease;^(C)
    the aggressor will vanish from the land.
⁵In love a throne^(D) will be established;^(E)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house^[a] of David^(F)—
one who in judging seeks justice^(G)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.
