Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-hares—the prophet's emotional response to Moab's judgment, with his bowels making the sound of a harp (suggesting both sadness and the prophetic anguish). The identification with the suffering emphasizes the prophet's compassion even while announcing judgment. This verse shows the prophet's internal identification with the judgment.
