9 For ’waters of Dimon are full of blood; forI will bring more upon Dimon, a lion for the escaped of Moab, and for the remnant of the land.

2 And it shall be, like wandering birds, a scattered nest, shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.

3 Apply counsel, execute a decision; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide outcasts; discover not him that wandereth.

4 Let the outcasts of Moab dwell with thee; be thou a hiding place to them from the face of the destroyer; for the extortioner is brought to an end, destruction is ﬁnished, the trampler is consumed out of the land.

5 And a throne is established in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tent of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do righteousness.
