Isaiah 16:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

² The women of Moab try to cross the river Arnon.
    They run around looking for help,
    like little birds that have fallen from their nest.
³ They say, “Help us!
    Tell us what to do.
Protect us from our enemies
    as shade protects us from the noon sun.
We are running from our enemies.
    Hide us!
    Don’t give us to our enemies.
