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 condemnation of Moab's pride and the assertion that the boastful claims will not prove true. The emphasis on pride as the fundamental failing establishes that spiritual arrogance underlies Moab's judgment. This verse diagnoses the spiritual disease causing Moab's downfall.
