People from Moab were forced to leave their homes.
    So let them live in your land.
    Hide them from their enemies.”

The robbing will stop.
    The enemy will be defeated.
    The men who hurt the people will be gone from the land.
Then a new king will come.
    He will be from David’s family.[a]
    He will be loyal, loving, and kind.
He will be a king who judges fairly.
    He will do what is right and good.

We have heard that the people of Moab
    are very proud and conceited.
They are hot-tempered braggers,
    but their boasts are only empty words.
