When Moab appears at her high place, she only wears herself out

Isaiah 16:1-14 

Let the Moabite fugitives stay with yoube their shelter from the destroyer.” The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it—  one from the house of David— one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

We have heard of Moab’s pride— how great is her arrogance!— of her conceit, her pride and her insolence; but her boasts are empty. Therefore the Moabites wail, they wail together for MoabLament and grieve for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.

When Moab appears at her high place, she only wears herself outwhen she goes to her shrine to pray, it is to no avail.

This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab. But now the Lord says: “Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”

Why?

Because Moanite had pride heart and great is her arrogance. They went there to a high place or her shrine to pray, but it was to no avail.

In God's love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it -- one from the house of David one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness. It means Jesus Christ will come for love and faithfulness.

How?

Be humble and fear before the Lord. Arrogant will fail and boasts are empty. May the Holy Spirit leads my way.
