Isaiah 16:2-5 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. Moab’s daughters are like fluttering birds,like scattered nestlings,at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River.

3. Give us advice.Make a decision.At high noon make your shadow as dark as night.Hide the fugitives.Don’t betray the refugees.

4. Let the fugitives from Moab stay with you a while.Be their refuge from the destroyer.Ruthless people will come to an end.The destruction will end.The one who tramples others will be gone.

5. Then the Lord will set up a trusted king.He will rule faithfully.He is from the tent of David.He judges and searches for justice.He is quick to do what is right.
