Isaiah 16:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 A throne shall be set up in mercy,
and on it shall sit in fidelity,
in David’s tent,
A judge upholding right,
prompt to do justice.(A)
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab,
how very proud he is,
Of his haughtiness, pride, and arrogance
that his empty words do not match.(B)
7 [a]Therefore let Moab wail,
let everyone wail for Moab;
For the raisin cakes[b] of Kir-hareseth
let them sigh, stricken with grief.
