Vers. 7. Therefore shall Moab howl ⟨p. 174⟩unto Moab; every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn: yet they shall be stricken.
Vers. 7. Therefore shall Moab houle ⟨p. 174⟩vnto Moab; euery one shall houle: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall yee mourne: yet they shall be stricken.
HE sets forth that more plainly which he touched before: to wit, that this pride and cruelty which proceeds thereof, shall be the cause of Moab's ruin.1 For seeing the Lord resists the proud, he must needs take down this haughtiness, under which the Church was miserably and shamefully trodden under foot. According to which example, the end of all proud persons must of necessity be lamentable. Where it is added, Moab unto Moab; his meaning is, that there shall be a dolorous song as it were, when they shall make their moan one to another touching their calamities, and shall weep for one another's griefs.
