The women of Moab
    try to cross the river Arnon
like little birds
    that have fallen from their nest.

They say: “Help us.
    Tell us what to do.
Protect us from our enemies
    as shade protects us from the noon sun.
Hide us, because we are running for safety!
    Don’t give us to our enemies.
Let those of us who were forced out of Moab live in your land.
    Hide us from our enemies.”

The robbing of Moab will stop.
    The enemy will be defeated;
    those who hurt others will disappear from the land.
