Isaiah 16:2 in other translations
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:
For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
