Isaiah 15:5
_ _ My — The prophet himself is moved with pity for Moab. Ministers, in denouncing the wrath of God against sinners, should do it with tender sorrow, not with exultation.
_ _ fugitives — fleeing from Moab, wander as far as to Zoar, on the extreme boundary south of the Dead Sea. Horsley translates, “her nobility,” or “rulers” (Hosea 4:18).
_ _ heifer, etc. — that is, raising their voices “like a heifer” (compare Jeremiah 48:34, Jeremiah 48:36). The expression “three years old,” implies one at its full vigor (Genesis 15:9), as yet not brought under the yoke; as Moab heretofore unsubdued, but now about to be broken. So Jeremiah 31:18; Hosea 4:13. Maurer translates, “Eglath” (in English Version, “a heifer”) Shelishijah (that is, the third, to distinguish it from two others of the same name).
_ _ by the mounting up — up the ascent.
_ _ Luhith — a mountain in Moab.
_ _ Horonaim — a town of Moab not far from Zoar (Jeremiah 48:5). It means “the two poles,” being near caves.
_ _ cry of destruction — a cry appropriate to the destruction which visits their country. |
Isaiah 15:5
Moab — Tho' they are a most vile nation. Zoar — Zoar was a town bordering upon Moab. Of destruction — Such a cry as men send forth when they are just falling into the pit of destruction. |
Isaiah 15:5
My (f) heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives [shall flee] to Zoar, (g) an heifer of three years old: for they shall go up the ascent of Luhith with weeping for in the way of Horonaim they (h) shall raise a cry of destruction.
(f) The prophet speaks this in the person of the Moabites: or as one who felt the great judgment of God that God would come on them.
(g) Meaning that it was a city that always lived in pleasure and never felt sorrow.
(h) He describes the miserable dissipation and flight of the Moabites. |

Luke 19:41-44 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, ... And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
