Isaiah 16:4
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Let mine 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.”
סֵתֶר
The hidden place. Not a bunker you build — a place you abide. The Hebrew carries the sense of being covered, concealed, sheltered under something larger than yourself. To dwell in the secret place of the Most High is to live inside His protection, not just visit it.
