イザヤ書 16:6 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 16:6-14

Here we have, I. The sins with which Moab is charged, Isa. 16:6. The prophet seems to check himself for going about to give good counsel to the Moabites, concluding they would not take the advice he gave them. He told them their duty (whether they would hear or whether they would forbear), but despairs of working any good upon them; he would have healed them, but they would not be healed. Those that will not be counselled cannot be helped. Their sins were, 1. Pride. This is most insisted upon;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the pride of Moab ,.... These are the words of the prophet, either in the name of the Lord, or in the person of the Jews, or of other nations, who had heard very frequently, and from many persons, and from every quarter, of the excessive pride of this people, and had many instances of it related to them, which foretold their ruin; for pride comes before a fall: ( he is very proud) : though his original was so base and infamous; and therefore there is little reason to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the pride of Moab "We have heard the pride of Moab" - For גא ge , read גאה geah ; two MSS., one ancient, and Jeremiah 48:29 . Zephaniah, Zephaniah 2:8-10 , in his prophecy against Moab, the subject of which is the same with that of Jeremiah in his forty-eighth chapter, (see the note on Isaiah 15:1 ; (note)), enlarges much on the pride of Moab, and their insolent behavior towards the Jews: - "I have heard the reproach of Moab; And the revilings of the sons... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-6

The King in Zion. "I have set my King upon my holy hill of Zion" ( Psalms 2:1-12 .). The destined Ruler of the world, he shall spread the wing of his mild government and protection over the nations in their harassment and despair, as now over Moab. 1. THE CALL TO THE FUGITIVES . They have fled into Edom, as far as to Petra, near Mount Hor. It was a region surrounded by rocky cliffs. Sela itself means rock or cliff. Between Petra—whose ruins the Arab guide of Seetzen said he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

THE BURDEN OF MOAB ( CONTINUED ). This portion of the "burden" is divided into three sections. In section 1 (from Isaiah 16:1 to the end of Isaiah 16:5 ) an offer of mercy is made to Moab on certain conditions, viz. that she return to her allegiance to the house of David, and show kindness to fugitive Israelites. In section 2 ( Isaiah 16:6-12 ) she is supposed to have rejected this offer, and is threatened (as in Isaiah 15:1-9 .) with severe punishment. In section 3... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:6

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. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 16:6-11

Guilty arrogance and commendable compassion. I. THE GUILT OF ARROGANCE . ( Isaiah 16:6 .) Moab was proud, haughty, insolent, boastful; she lifted up herself in contemptuous defiance of Judah, of the city of God; and the prophet of Jehovah speaks of her arrogance as a very great offence in 'the eyes of the supreme Disposer. There is nothing which is more emphatically, or more repeatedly condemned in Scripture than haughtiness of heart or spiritual pride; it is a very rank offence... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the pride of Moab - We Jews; we have “all” heard of it; that is, we “know” that he is proud. The evident design of the prophet here is, to say that Moab was so proud, and was well known to be so haughty, that he would “reject” this counsel. He would neither send the usual tribute to the land of Judea Isaiah 16:1, thus acknowledging his dependence on them; nor would he give protection to the exiled Jews as they should wander through his land, and “thus” endeavor to conciliate... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 16:6-7

Isaiah 16:6-7. 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... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

Devastation in Moab (15:1-16:14)The place names mentioned in these two chapters indicate that the attack on Moab comes from the north, most likely from Assyria. The attack is swift and ruthless, and towns fall in a night. Wherever a person looks, there is mourning (15:1-4). Even Isaiah weeps as he sees the people fleeing pitifully, rushing along the streets, across the streams and over the fields that have been damaged by the invading armies. They take with them whatever precious possessions... read more
