Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.

Ver. 6. We have heard of the pride of Moab.] His harsh and haughty carriage toward God's poor people, though he were advised the contrary. Isaiah 16:1 ; Isa 16:3-4 Good counsel is but cast away upon a proud person. Now the Moabites were as much noted then for their pride as now the Spaniards are; and their pride appeared by their brags and threats. But

His lies shall not be so.] Or, His indignation is more than his strength, as Jerome rendereth it. His boastings and blusters shall come to nothing; his pride shall be his bane and break his neck.
