Isaiah 16:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Like fluttering birds,
    like an abandoned nest,
so are the daughters of Moab
    at the fords of the Arnon River.[a]
3 “Give us advice;
    reach a decision!
Cast your shadow as if night had come
    at high noon.
Shelter the fugitives,
    And don’t betray a single refugee.
4 Let the fugitives[b] from Moab
    settle among you;
be a shelter to them
    from the destroyer.
When the oppressor comes to an end,
    and destruction has[c] ceased,
        and the marauder[d] has[e] vanished from the land,
