“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.”
Isaiah 16:6 (KJV)
Commentary on 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." The fivefold emphasis on pride hammers home Moab's fundamental sin. Not just proud, but "very proud," characterized by haughtiness, arrogance, and wrathful insolence. "His lies shall not be so" indicates Moab's boasts are empty—claims to power, security, self-sufficiency are false. Pride invariably precedes judgment (Proverbs 16:18). Reformed theology identifies pride as the root sin—humanity's rejection of God's sovereignty and grasping for autonomy.
