Then a new king will come.
    He will be from David’s family.[a]
    He will be loyal, loving, and kind.
He will be a king who judges fairly.
    He will do what is right and good.

We have heard that the people of Moab
    are very proud and conceited.
They are hot-tempered braggers,

    They will wish for the way things used to be.
    They will wish for the raisin cakes from Kir Hareseth.[b]
