New International Version (NIV)

4Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;

be their shelter from the destroyer.”

The oppressor will come to an end,

and destruction will cease;

the aggressor will vanish from the land.

4“Let the 16:4 As in most ancient versions; MT My outcasts, as for Moaboutcasts of Moab stay with you;

Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”

For the oppressor has come to an end, destruction has ceased,

Oppressors have been removed from the land.

4Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you;

Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”

For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased,

Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.

4“Let our outcasts of Moab live among you;

Be a [sheltered] hiding place to them from the destroyer.”

For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased,

Oppressors [who trample men] have completely disappeared from the land,

4Let my fugitives stay with you;

be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.”

When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased,

and the oppressors have vanished from the land,

4Let those who have run away from Moab stay with you.

Keep them safe from those who are trying to destroy them.”

Those who crush others will be destroyed.

The killing will stop.

The attackers will disappear from the earth.
