In mercy (A)the throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
(B)Judging and seeking justice and hastening (C)righteousness.”

We have heard of the (D)pride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
(E)But his [a]lies shall not be so.
Therefore Moab shall (F)wail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations (G)of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken.

We have heard of Moab’s(E) pride(F)
