The women of Moab are at the places
    where people go across the Arnon River.
They are like birds that flap their wings
    when they are pushed from their nest.

The Moabites say to the rulers of Judah,
    “Make up your mind. Make a decision.
Cover us with your shadow.
    Make it like night even at noon.
Hide those of us who are running away.
    Don’t turn them over to their enemies.
Let those who have run away from Moab stay with you.
    Keep them safe from those who are trying to destroy them.”

Those who crush others will be destroyed.
    The killing will stop.
    The attackers will disappear from the earth.
