Isaiah 16:3
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
KJV
Ini consilium, coge concilium ; pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie ; absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.
Vulgate
βουλεύου, ποιεῖτε σκέπην πένθους αὐτῇ διὰ παντός· ἐν μεσημβρινῇ σκοτίᾳ φεύγουσιν, ἐξέστησαν· μὴ ἀχθῇς.
LXX
Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.
