1 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,From Sela to the wilderness,To the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest;So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.
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 the spoiler.For the extortioner is at an end,Devastation ceases,The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 In mercy the throne will be established;And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab—He is very proud—Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;But his lies shall not be so.
