Isaiah 16:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Moab's troubles

16 We must send sheep as gifts to the ruler of our land. Send them from Sela across the desert. Send them to Mount Zion in Jerusalem.^[a]

² Moab's women are standing at the shore of Arnon river. They want to go across. They are like birds that people have chased out of their nests.

³ The Moabites say, ‘Tell us what we should do! Help us in our troubles! Give us some shade in the middle of the day! Hide the people who are escaping! Our enemies are chasing us. Do not let them find us.
