Isaiah 16:12

Isa 16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

Ver. 12. That Moab is weary on the high place. ] Tired out in his superstitious services, by all which he is not a button the better, but a great deal the worse.

But he shall not prevail. ] This is every wicked man’s case and curse; for "we know that God heareth not sinners." Joh 9:31 He will never accept of a good motion from a bad mouth. Isa 1:1-31 The very heathen could say,

“ Oς κε Yεοις επιπειθηται, μαλα τ ’ εκλυον αυτου .”
