Exegesis
The verb tihyeynah {תִּֽהְיֶ֙ינָה֙ | tī-hyē-nāh} aligns the fate of benoth Moav {בְּנ֣וֹת מוֹאָ֔ב | bᵊ-nōṯ mō-ʾāḇ} with the simile. The genitive construct benoth Moav denotes national identity.
In context — Isaiah 16:2
It will be like a wandering bird driven from the nest; so the daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.
