And in mercy shall the throne be established:
and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David,
judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud:
even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath:
but his lies shall not be so.
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab,
every one shall howl:
for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn;
surely they are stricken.

In love a throne(A) will be established;(B)

    and speeds the cause of righteousness.

We have heard of Moab’s(E) pride(F)
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
Therefore the Moabites wail,(G)

Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes(H) of Kir Hareseth.(I)
