Context Readings

Moab's Hopeless Situation

4 Please let the Moabite fugitives live among you. Hide them from the destroyer!" Certainly the one who applies pressure will cease, the destroyer will come to an end, those who trample will disappear from the earth. 5 Then a trustworthy king will be established; he will rule in a reliable manner, this one from David's family. He will be sure to make just decisions and will be experienced in executing justice. 6 We have heard about Moab's pride, their great arrogance, their boasting, pride, and excess. But their boastful claims are empty!
