Isaiah 25:10

For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and (l) Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the (m) dunghill.

(l) By Moab are meant all the enemies of his Church.

(m) There were two cities by this name: one in Judah, (1 Chronicles 6:81) and another in the land of Moab, (Jeremiah 48:2) which seems to have been a plentiful place of corn, (Isaiah 36:17).
