Prophecy of Moab’s Devastation

16 (A)Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land,
From [a](B)Sela by way of the wilderness to the (C)mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Then, like [b](D)fleeing birds or scattered [c]nestlings,
The daughters of (E)Moab will be at the fords of the (F)Arnon.
[d]Give us advice, make a decision;
[e]Cast your (G)shadow like night [f]at high noon;
(H)Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
