(A)then a throne will be established in steadfast love,
    and on it will sit in faithfulness
    in the tent of David
one who judges and seeks justice
    and is swift to do righteousness.”

    how proud he is!—
(C)of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
    in his idle boasting he is not right.

    (D)let everyone wail.

    for the (E)raisin cakes of (F)Kir-hareseth.

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