New King James Version

Isaiah 16:2-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

2. For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest;So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

3. “Take counsel, execute judgment;Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day;Hide the outcasts,Do not betray him who escapes.

4. Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Moab;Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler.For the extortioner is at an end,Devastation ceases,The oppressors are consumed out of the land.

5. In mercy the throne will be established;And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”

6. We have heard of the pride of Moab—He is very proud—Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;But his lies shall not be so.
