1
I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
2
For thou shalt be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: thou shalt be , daughter of Moab: and then do thou, O Arnon,
3
take farther counsel, and continually make thou a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not thou led captive.
4
The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with thee; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for thine alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
5
And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
