Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - We have heard of the pride of Moab. A new section commences. Moab has not accepted the offer of mercy made in vers. 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.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) We have heard of the pride of Moab . . .--The hopes of the prophet are clouded by the remembrance of the characteristic sin of Moab. Of this the Moabite Inscription gives sufficient evidence. (See Notes on Isaiah 15) Isaiah's language finds an echo in Jeremiah 48:29.But his lies shall not be so.--Better, "his lies, or boasts, are of no worth," are "not so" as they seem to be.
