We have heard of the pride of Moab, &c. The prophet, having spoken to the Moabites, now turns his speech to God's people. The sense is, I do not expect that my counsels will have any good effect upon Moab; they will still carry themselves insolently and outrageously. His lies shall not be so His vain imaginations, and false and crafty counsels, shall not take effect. Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab One Moabite shall howl or lament to or for another; for the foundations of Kir-hareseth An ancient and eminent city of Moab, called Kir, Isaiah 15:1, and Kir-haresh, Isaiah 16:11, which was preserved when their other cities were ruined, and therefore the destruction of it was more lamented. Surely they are stricken Or broken, overthrown or destroyed.
