Isaiah 16 continues the prophecy against Moab which was started in the previous chapter. "Like fluttering birds pushed from the nest, so are the women of Moab... the oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land." Reference is made to Moabite pride: "We have heard of Moab's pride... her pride and her insolence... therefore the Moabites wail... lament and grieve... the fields of Heshbon wither... O Heshbon I drench you with tears... my heart laments for Moab like a harp... within 3 years Moab's splendour and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."
