Isaiah 16-18

An Oracle Concerning Moab

[4] "Let the banished of Moab sojourn with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely [disappeared] from the land. 

[5] And a throne will be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in truth in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness. 

[Isa 16:4-5 LSB]

An Oracle Concerning Damascus

[7] In that day man will have regard for his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel. [Isa 17:7 LSB]

[10] For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your strong defense. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine branches of a strange [god]. [Isa 17:10 LSB]

A Message to Ethiopia

[7] At that time a gift of homage will be brought to Yahweh of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, [even] Mount Zion. [Isa 18:7 LSB]
