Isaiah 15&16

Heavenly father

give us grace to have compassion for those who are suffering as a result of their own sins
give us grace to repent of our own pride - pride which leads to oppression and wrath.

^15:1 In a night, Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
⁵ My heart cries out for Moab!

^16:3 Give counsel! Execute justice! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive! 
⁴  For the extortionist is brought to nothing. The oppressors are consumed out of the land. 

⁵ A throne will be established in loving kindness.
One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

⁶ We have heard of the pride of Moab, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing. 
⁷ Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. ⁹ Therefore I will weep.  I will water you with my tears. ¹⁰ Gladness is taken away
