Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 39. - They shall howl, saying etc.; rather, How is it dismayed! (how) they wail! How hath Moab turned the back ashamed! Yea, Moab becometh, etc.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(39) They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down!--Better, taking the words in the Hebrew order, How is she broken down! How do they howl! In the word "derision" we have the emphatic iteration of the term that had been pointedly used in Jeremiah 48:26; Jeremiah 48:2. At this stage the parallelism with Isaiah 15, 16 ceases, and the prediction has a more independent character.
