“The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;”
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence—the introduction of the oracle against Moab, with the sudden devastation coming at night and reducing cities to silence. The nighttime destruction suggests both the swiftness and the horror of the judgment. This verse begins the prophecy against Moab.
