And a (A)throne will be established in lovingkindness,
And a judge will sit on it in truth in the tent of (B)David;
Moreover, he will seek justice
And be prompt in righteousness.

(C)We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;
Even of his lofty pride, pride, and fury;
(D)His idle boasts are [a]false.
Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.
You will moan for the (E)raisin cakes of (F)Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.

  1. Isaiah 16:6 Lit not so

In love a throne(A) will be established;(B)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[a] of David(C)
one who in judging seeks justice(D)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.

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.
Therefore the Moabites wail,(G)
    they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes(H) of Kir Hareseth.(I)
