Isaiah 16:1 Context
1Send ye the lambe to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wildernesse, vnto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 2For it shalbe that as a wandering bird cast out of the nest: so the daughters of Moab shalbe at the fordes of Arnon. 3Take counsell, execute Iudgement, make thy shadow as the night in the middest of the nooneday, hide the outcastes, bewray not him that wandereth.
