Isaiah 16:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ⁴ Let us escape from Moab and come to live among you. Our enemy wants to destroy us. Please keep us safe!’

Yes, one day, the cruel enemy will have gone. He will no longer attack the land and destroy it.
