Introduction
The distress of Moab pathetically described by the son of the prince, or ruler of the land, being forced to flee for his life through the desert, that he may escape to Judea; and the young women, like young birds scared from their nest, wade helpless through the fords of Arnon, the boundary of their country, to seek protection in some foreign land, Isaiah 16:1 , Isaiah 16:2 . The prophet addresses Sion, exhorting her to show mercy to her enemies in their distress, that her throne may be established in righteousness, Isaiah 16:3-5 . Exceeding great pride of Moab, Isaiah 16:6 . The terrible calamities about to fall upon Moab farther described by the languishing of the vine, the ceasing of the vintage, the sound of the prophet's bowels quivering like a harp, etc., Isaiah 16:7-13 . Awful nearness of the full accomplishment of the prophecy, Isaiah 16:14 .
