Isaiah 16:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
1
Send the
tribute
lamb to the ruler of the land,
From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2
Then, like fluttering birds
or
scattered nestlings,
The daughters of Moab will be at the crossing places of the Arnon.
3
'Give
us
advice, make a decision;
Cast your shadow like night at high noon;
Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
4
Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you;
Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.'
For the oppressor has come to an end, destruction has ceased,
Oppressors have been removed from the land.
5
A throne will be established in faithfulness,
And a judge will sit on it in trustworthiness in the tent of David;
Moreover, he will seek justice,
And be prompt in righteousness.
6
We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;
Even
of his arrogance, pride, and fury;
His idle boasts are false.
King James Version
Chapter 16
1
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
4
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
1
Send lambs to the ruler of the land,
from Sela in the desert
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;
do not betray the one who flees.
4
Let my refugees stay with you;
be a refuge for Moab 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,
and one will sit on it faithfully
in the tent of David,
judging and pursuing what is right,
quick to execute justice.
6
We have heard of Moab’s pride —
how very proud he is—
his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance,
and his empty boasting.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
1
Send lambs from Sela as tribute
to the ruler of the land.
Send them through the desert
to the mountain of beautiful Zion.
2
The women of Moab are left like homeless birds
at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River.
3
'Help us,' they cry.
'Defend us against our enemies.
Protect us from their relentless attack.
Do not betray us now that we have escaped.
4
Let our refugees stay among you.
Hide them from our enemies until the terror is past.'
When oppression and destruction have ended
and enemy raiders have disappeared,
5
then God will establish one of David’s descendants as king.
He will rule with mercy and truth.
He will always do what is just
and be eager to do what is right.
6
We have heard about proud Moab —
about its pride and arrogance and rage.
But all that boasting has disappeared.
English Standard Version
Chapter 16
1
Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,
from Sela, by way of the desert,
to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2
Like fleeing birds,
like a scattered nest,
so are the daughters of Moab
at the fords of the Arnon.
3
"Give counsel;
grant justice;
make your shade like night
at the height of noon;
shelter the outcasts;
do not reveal the fugitive;
4
let the outcasts of Moab
sojourn among you;
be a shelter to them
from the destroyer.
When the oppressor is no more,
and destruction has ceased,
and he who tramples underfoot has vanished from the land,
5
then a throne will be established in steadfast love,
and on it will sit in faithfulness
in the tent of David
one who judges and seeks justice
and is swift to do righteousness."
6
We have heard of the pride of Moab —
how proud he is! —
of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
in his idle boasting he is not right.
New International Version
Chapter 16
1
Send lambs as tribute
to the ruler of the land,
from Sela, across the desert,
to the mount of Daughter Zion.
2
Like fluttering birds
pushed from the nest,
so are the women of Moab
at the fords of the Arnon.
3
"Make up your mind," Moab says.
"Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,
do not betray the refugees.
4
Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
be their shelter from the destroyer." The oppressor will come to an end,
and destruction will cease;
the aggressor will vanish from the land.
5
In love a throne will be established;
in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
one from the house of David—
one who in judging seeks justice
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
6
We have heard of Moab’s pride—
how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
but her boasts are empty.
New King James Version
Chapter 16
1
Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,
From Sela to the wilderness,
To the mount of the daughter of Zion.
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.
