Isaiah 16:2

Isaiah 16:2 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

2Like fluttering birds

pushed from the nest,

so are the women of Moab

at the fords of the Arnon.

2Then, like fluttering birds or scattered nestlings,

The daughters of Moab will be at the crossing places of the Arnon.

2Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings,

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

2For like wandering birds or scattered nestlings,

The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the [river] Arnon.

2Like fluttering birds

pushed out of the nest,

so are the daughters of Moab

at the fords of the Arnon:

2The 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.
