Isaiah 16:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 16:5

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 the¹ spoiler.
For the extortioner is at an end,
Devastation ceases,
The oppressors are consumed out of the land.

5 In mercy ^athe throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
^bJudging and seeking justice and hastening ^crighteousness.”

6 We have heard of the ^apride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
^bBut his¹ lies shall not be so.

7 Therefore Moab shall ^awail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations ^bof Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken.
