5In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it- one from the house of David- one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.


In Context

2 Like fluttering birds pushed from the nest, so are the women of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

3 "Give us counsel, render a decision. Make your shadow like night- at high noon. Hide the fugitives, do not betray the refugees.

4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer." The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land.

5 In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it- one from the house of David- one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

6 We have heard of Moab's pride- her overweening pride and conceit, her pride and her insolence- but her boasts are empty.

7 Therefore the Moabites wail, they wail together for Moab. Lament and grieve for the men of Kir Hareseth.
