2 Like fluttering birds

pushed from the nest,

so are the women of Moab

at the fords of the Arnon.

2 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.

2 The women of Moab are left like homeless birds

at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River.

2 For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest;

So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

2 The women of Moab

try to cross the river Arnon

like little birds

that have fallen from their nest.

2 For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.

2 And it shall be that as a wandering bird, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.

2 Moab’s daughters are like fluttering birds, 

like scattered nestlings, 

at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River. 

2 Like a bird fleeing,

forced from the nest,

the daughters of Moab

will be at the fords of the Arnon.

2 Like fluttering birds,

like scattered nestlings,

so are the daughters of Moab

at the fords of the Arnon.

2 And this shall be:

like a bird fleeing from a thrust away nest

shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.

2 The women of Moab are at the places

where people go across the Arnon River.

They are like birds that flap their wings

when they are pushed from their nest.

2 Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings,

The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.
