In context

1Send the tribute lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mount of Daughter Zion.

2Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:

3“Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.

4Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.” When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have vanished from the land,

5In loving devotion a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
