Bible Commentary

Isaiah 16:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

We have heard of the pride of Moab. A new section commences. Moab has not accepted the offer of mercy made in Isaiah 16:1-5, and is therefore denounced afresh. Her "pride" prevented her from renewing her subjection to the house of David, and therefore it is her pride which is specially condemned.

His lies shall not be so; rather, of no worth are his boast-tags. The result will not correspond with them.
