A Call for Refuge and Asylum
Isaiah 16:1-5
1
Send the tribute lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mount of Daughter Zion.
2

3
“Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.
4
Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.” When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have vanished from the land,
5
in loving devotion a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
