Isaiah 16:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated 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,(A)
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.(B)
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.(C)
Isaiah 16:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Therefore my heart moans like a harp for Moab
and my very soul for Kir-heres.(A)
12 When Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself upon the high place, when he comes to his sanctuary to pray, he will not prevail.(B)
13 This was the word that the Lord spoke concerning Moab in the past.
