Isaiah 16:3
Berean Standard Bible
“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.
Context
1Send the tribute lambs
to the ruler of the land,
from Sela in the desert
to the mount of Daughter Zion. 2Like fluttering birds
pushed out of the nest,
so are the daughters of Moab
at the fords of the Arnon: 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. 4Let 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, 5in 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.
