Let my outcasts dwell with you, Moab;
    be a hiding place to them from the face of the destroyer.”

For the extortioner has come to an end;
    the destroyer ceases;
    the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
In mercy the throne shall be established;
    and one who judges and seeks justice
    and is diligent in righteousness
shall sit on it in truth
    in the tabernacle of David, judging.

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.

The oppressor(B) will come to an end,
    and destruction will cease;(C)
    the aggressor will vanish from the land.
In love a throne(D) will be established;(E)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[a] of David(F)
one who in judging seeks justice(G)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.

We have heard of Moab’s(H) pride(I)
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
