Vers. 11. Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-hareseth.
Vers. 11. Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harpe for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-hareseth.
The Prophet under the person of a Moabite doth again describe a great lamentation proceeding from such grievous sorrow, that their bowels should break, or make an horrible noise. For he would show the thing it self by the sign of it. Now we have already showed whereunto these lively descriptions tend; to wit, that having the thing demonstrated as it were in their sight, we might the more confidently expect the obtaining of that which far surmounts all our thoughts. In that he names the chief City again, he notes out the ruin of the whole Country, taking a part for the whole.
