Isaiah 16:2 in Context — Isaiah 16

1 Enviai os cordeiros ao dominador da terra desde Sela pelo deserto, ao monte da filha de Sião.

2 Pois será que, como o pássaro vagueante, lançado do ninho, assim serão as filhas de Moabe junto aos vaus de Arnom.

3 Toma conselho, faze juízo, põe tua sombra no pino do meio dia como a noite; esconde aos exilados, [e] não exponhas os fugitivos.

4 Habitem entre ti teus prisioneiros, Moabe; sê tu refúgio para eles da presença do destruidor, porque o opressor terá fim, a destruição terminará, e os esmagadores serão consumidos de sobre a terra.
