Bible verse
Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:
Isaiah 16:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 16.
1 Send the tribute lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mount of Daughter Zion.
2 Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:
3 “Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.
4 Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.” When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have vanished from the land,
5 in loving devotion a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
6 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his overflowing arrogance. But his boasting is empty.
