a throne will be set up by grace,
and on it, in the tent of David,
will sit an honest judge,
seeking justice and pursuing righteousness.

We have heard about Mo’av’s pride,
how very proud they are;

for the raisin-cakes of Kir-Hareset.

In love a throne(A) will be established;(B)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[a] of David(C)
one who in judging seeks justice(D)
    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)
    they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes(H) of Kir Hareseth.(I)
