← Isaiah 16:1	Isaiah 16:2 (KJV)	Isaiah 16:3 →
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.	For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.	Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
