Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - My bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab; i.e. they shall vibrate with thrills of grief (Kay).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) My bowels shall sound like an harp . . .--The context leaves it uncertain whether the speaker is the prophet as in Isaiah 16:9, or Jehovah as in Isaiah 16:10. The former seems, perhaps, the most natural. On the other hand, the very phrase is used of the compassion of Jehovah in Isaiah 63:15. The "bowels," as in modern language the "heart," were looked on as the seat of the emotions, and as such they vibrate, like the chords of the harp or lyre (kinn-r) used at funerals, with the thrills of pity.
