Then the Lord will set up a trusted king.
He will rule faithfully.
He is from the tent of David.
He judges and searches for justice.
He is quick to do what is right.

We’ve heard of the arrogance of Moab’s people.
They are very arrogant.
We’ve heard of their boasting, arrogance, and conceit,
but their boasts aren’t true.
That is why Moab will wail.
Everyone will wail for Moab.
Mourn and grieve over the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.

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.

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