Isaiah 16:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Send them forth, hugging the earth like reptiles,from Sela across the desert,to the mount of daughter Zion.

2. Like flushed birds,like scattered nestlings,Are the daughters of Moabat the fords of the Arnon.

3. Offer counsel, take their part;at high noon make your shade like the night;Hide the outcasts,do not betray the fugitives.
