Isaiah 16:1-3
International Children’s Bible
16 Send the king of the land
the payment he demands.
Send a lamb from Sela through the desert
to the mountain of Jerusalem.
2 The women of Moab
try to cross the river Arnon.
They are 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.
Hide us because we are running for safety!
Don’t give us to our enemies.

to the ruler of the land,
from Sela,(C) across the desert,
to the mount of Daughter Zion.(D)

pushed from the nest,(E)
so are the women of Moab(F)
at the fords(G) of the Arnon.(H)

“Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(I)
do not betray the refugees.
