Isaiah 16:2-4
Authorized (King James) Version

2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest,
so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
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.
4 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.

Isaiah 16:2-4
New International Version

2 Like fluttering birds
    pushed from the nest,(A)
so are the women of Moab(B)
    at the fords(C) of the Arnon.(D)

3 “Make up your mind,” Moab says.
    “Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
    at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(E)
    do not betray the refugees.
4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
    be their shelter(F) from the destroyer.”

The oppressor(G) will come to an end,
    and destruction will cease;(H)
    the aggressor will vanish from the land.
