Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the pride of Moab, its conceit and foolish dependence upon its own strength, Jeremiah 48:14; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath, his senseless anger against Israel; but his lies shall not be so, his false boasts would soon be shown to be vain.
