Isaiah 16:1-5

Christian Standard Bible

16 Send lambs to the ruler of the land,^(A)
from Sela in the desert^(B)
to the mountain of Daughter Zion.
² Like a bird fleeing,
forced from the nest,
the daughters of Moab
will be at the fords of the Arnon.
³ Give us counsel and make a decision.
Shelter us at noonday
with shade that is as dark as night.
Hide the refugees;^(C)
do not betray the one who flees.
⁴ Let my refugees stay with you;
be a refuge for Moab^[a] from the aggressor.
When the oppressor has gone,
destruction has ended,
and marauders have vanished from the land,

⁵ a throne will be established in love,^(D)
and one will sit on it faithfully^[b]
in the tent of David,
judging and pursuing what is right,
quick to execute justice.
