Isaiah 16:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
4 let the outcasts of Moab
settle among you;
be a refuge to them
from the destroyer.”
When the oppressor is no more,
and destruction has ceased,
and marauders have vanished from the land,
5 then a throne shall be established in steadfast love
in the tent of David,
and on it shall sit in faithfulness
a ruler who seeks justice
and is swift to do what is right.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab
—how proud he is!—
of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
his boasts are false.
Isaiah 16:4-6
New International Version
4 Let 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.
5 In 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.
