Isaiah 16:4

יָג֤וּרוּ בָךְ֙ נִדָּחַ֔י מֹואָ֛ב הֱוִי־סֵ֥תֶר לָ֖מֹו מִפְּנֵ֣י שֹׁודֵ֑ד כִּֽי־אָפֵ֤ס הַמֵּץ֙ כָּ֣לָה שֹׁ֔ד תַּ֥מּוּ רֹמֵ֖ס מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Let My outcasts of Moʾav sojourn with you; be a shelter for them from the face of the destroyer. For the oppressor is no more, destruction has ceased, those who trample are finished from the land.
