16 Send a ram[a] to the ruler of the land,
    from Sela across the desert to the mountain of daughter Zion.[b]

And this shall be:

like a bird fleeing from a thrust away nest
    shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.
“Bring counsel,
    make a decision;
make your shade like the night
    in the middle of noonday.
Hide the outcasts;
    you must not betray the fugitive.
