A Call for Refuge and Asylum
Isaiah 16:1-5
1
Send lambs for the ruler of the land from the crags toward the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Tziyon.
2
The daughters of Mo'av at the fords of the Arnon are like fluttering birds pushed from the nest.
3
"Give [us] counsel! Decide [to help]! Make your shadow [over us] like night in the middle of noonday. Hide [our] outcasts! Don't betray [our] fugitives!
4
Let our outcasts live with you! Protect Mo'av from the attacks of robbers!" For when the extorting ends, the spoiling ceases, and those trampling on the land are destroyed,
5
a throne will be set up by grace, and on it, in the tent of David, will sit an honest judge, seeking justice and pursuing righteousness.
