Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 16:4

Theological / Devotional

Dwell with thee. Moab is admonished to permit the outcasts from Judah to find refuge in her midst and to hide them from those who would seek their destruction. This message was given to Moab a century before the Babylonians brought judgment upon Judah, when thousands of Jews sought refuge in Moab (Jer. 40:11). At that time, however, this counsel was not heeded, and the Moabites took keen delight in the miseries that had come upon Judah (Jer. 48:26, 27). For this reason a terrible judgment was to fall upon Moab (Zeph. 2:8, 9).
