Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 16:3

3 Take counsel , execute judgment , make thy shadow as the night in the midst of noonday, hide the out-casts , bewray not him that wandreth .

Consider seriously among your selves what course to take to prevent your utter Ruine.

Do those things which are just and right, as to all men, so particularly to my People, to whom you have been most unrighteous and unmerciful.

Or, as the shadow of the night, large and dark, as the Shadow of the Earth is in the Night-season. The meaning is, Conceal and protect my People in the time of their Distress and Danger, as this Metaphor is explained in the rest of this, and in the following Verse.

Mine outcasts, as it follows v. 4. those of my People which are driven out of their own Land.

Unto their Enemies, as thou hast treacherously done in former times.
