Isaiah 16:11
11 Wherefore my bowels [me`ah] shall sound [hamah] like an
harp [kinnowr] for Moab [Mow'ab], and mine inward parts [qereb] for Kirharesh [Qiyr Cheres]. KJV-Interlinear
11 Therefore my heart intones
like a harp for Moab, And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth. NASB
The bowels, often refer
to the deep emotions, 1 Kings 3:26; Ps 25:6; Prov 12:10; Song 5:4; Isa 63:15; Jer
4:19; 31:20; Phil 1:8; 2:1. The harp,
amplifies that deep seated emotion, and in the case of Moab, the emotions refer
to the extreme grieving and sorrow and punishment that they are or will be,
enduring during this future time.
History has given us
several examples of disasters of a country that has gone against God, and His
chosen people, and where are they and their leaders today? Gone, destroyed, obliterated, and replaced
with a new generation that has the opportunity to not make those same mistakes.
But in the end, lessons
will not be learned, and old hatreds and biases will return, and that will be
the undoing of a people that has set itself against God, remained indifferent
toward God, even attempting to destroy the things of the God that they themselves
reject.
How can you reject God,
and then take the position of destroying the things of a God that you refuse to
recognize? That is the quintessence of
contradiction.
Nearly all, if not all,
who reject Christ and the Bible, want to debate the Bible, in order to promote
their own false ideas. If an idea is true
then it needs no debate to stand. And
the Bible needs no justification for what it is. Truth is always evident to the objective
observer, but never recognized by the subjective onlooker.
The nation disappears,
the city disappears. And when this happens in its finality, then they will
never rise up again in their arrogance and evil. Their legacy is nothing more than deep sorrow
and grieving, which too, will eventually disappear along with them.
