Isa 16:4

Isa 16:4Let my outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

Isa 16:10

Isa 16:10And gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage-shouting to cease.

Isa 16:11Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-haresh.
