Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:6-14

6-14 Those who will not be counselled, cannot be helped. More souls are ruined by pride than by any other sin whatever. Also, the very proud are commonly very passionate. With lies many seek to gain the gratification of pride and passion, but they shall not compass proud and angry projects. Moab was famous for fields and vineyards; but they shall be laid waste by the invading army. God can soon turn laughter into mourning, and joy into heaviness. In God let us always rejoice with holy triumph;... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 16:6-14

Moab's Pride and Ruin. The Lord's invitation was issued to Moab also, for He wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The appeal, however, was unavailing, and therefore the prophecy of punishment is once more resumed. v. 6. We have heard of the pride of Moab, its conceit and foolish dependence upon its own strength, Jeremiah 48:14-Joel :; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath, his senseless anger against Israel; but his lies shall... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:1-14

Continuing the prophecy concerning Moab, the prophet proceeds to describe how in her distress she will appeal to Judah for sanctuary ( Isa 16:1-5 ). This will be refused, and so great will be the distress of Moab that even the prophet breaks out into lamentation at sight of it. He declares that this visitation of Moab is in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, and at last the time limit is actually set (verses Isa 16:6-14 ). read more

Chapter 16 Moab, Her Refugees In Desperate Straits, Seek Refuge in Edom And Consider Refuge in Judah, But Decide Against It. God was ready to provide Moab with a safe shelter in Judah, but they preferred remaining in Edom rather than having to submit to the requirements of Yahweh. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:6-14

The Request To Judah Is Never Actualised Because of the Pride of Moab, With Sad Results (Isaiah 16:6-14 ). Analysis of Isaiah 16:6-14. a We have heard of the pride of Moab, (he is very proud), even of his arrogance, and his pride and his wrath. His boastings are nothing b Therefore will Moab howl for Moab. Everyone will howl. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, utterly stricken c For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations, have... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:1-14

Isaiah 16:1-2 Kings : . The Moabites now in Sela, a city of Edom ( 2 Kings 14:7 *; cf. Judges 1:36, mg.*) , exhort each other to send the tribute of lambs once paid to Israel ( 2 Kings 3:4) to Jerusalem to secure her protection and shelter, since Edom was under the suzerainty of Judah. Judah can protect the Moabites, for it is under a righteous government. But the prayer is rejected, for the arrogance of Moab ( Isaiah 25:11) is such that its flattery of Judah must be insincere. So Moab must... read more

Let's turn to Isaiah chapter 16 as we continue our study through the prophecy of Isaiah.Now, in these next few chapters that we are covering here in Isaiah, behind the scenes Assyria is arising as a strong powerful military force. Assyria with its capital city of Nineveh is becoming extremely powerful and beginning to develop a tremendous army that will soon be on a campaign of subjugating the world. And so the prophet Isaiah begins to address himself to some of the various countries... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 16:1-14

Isaiah 16:1 . Send ye the lamb from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion. Send the tribute of the lambs from all the towns of Moab, and seek alliance with the house of David, with whom God has now renewed his promises. This is your best wisdom, and first duty. So it is intimated in the fifth verse, for the king of Judah shall sit upon the throne in the tabernacle of David. This tribute is fully explained in 2 Kings 3:4-5, where it is said that Mesha king of Moab... read more
