Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 16:7

_ _ Therefore — all hope of being allowed shelter by the Jews being cut off.

_ _ foundations — that is, “ruins”; because, when houses are pulled down, the “foundations” alone are left (Isaiah 58:12). Jeremiah, in the parallel place (Jeremiah 48:31), renders it “men,” who are the moral foundations or stay of a city.

_ _ Kirhareseth — literally, “a citadel of brick.”

_ _ surely they are stricken — rather, joined with “mourn”; “Ye shall mourn utterly stricken” [Maurer and Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 16:6-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 16:7

Moab — One Moabite shall howl or lament to or for another. Kirhareseth — An ancient and eminent city of Moab, which was preserved when their other cities were ruined, and therefore the destruction of it was more lamented. Stricken — Or, broken, overthrown or destroyed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 16:7

Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] (g) stricken.

(g) For all your mourning, yet the city will be destroyed even to the foundation.
