Let My refugees stay with you.
Be for Moab a hiding place
    from the face of the destroyer.
For the extortion is at an end,
    devastation ceases,
    oppressors are gone from the land.

A throne will be established in mercy,
and One will sit on it in truth
—in the tent of David—
One who seeks justice
    and is ready for righteousness.[a]

We have heard of the pride of Moab—
    very proud is he—
    of his haughtiness, his arrogance, his insolence,
    and his dishonest boasting.

    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
