² Then, like ^[a](A)fleeing birds or scattered ^[b]nestlings,
The daughters of ^(B)Moab will be at the fords of the ^(C)Arnon.
³ “Bring us counsel, make a decision;
^[c]Cast your ^(D)shadow like night ^[d]at high noon;
^(E)Hide those banished, do not reveal the one who flees.
⁴ Let the ^[e]banished of Moab sojourn with you;
Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”
For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased,
^(F)Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.
