6We have heard the pride of Moab, he is proud exceedingly: his pride and his arrogancy, and his indignation is more than his strength.We haue heard the pride of Moab, he is proud excedingly : his pride and his arrogancie, and his indignation is more then his strength.✦Audivimus superbiam Moab : superbus est valde ; superbia ejus, et arrogantia ejus, et indignatio ejus plus quam fortitudo ejus.
