Parallel ISA 25:0

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter

Why does this universal oracle single out Moab at the end?

As the introduction to Part Three of Isaiah explains, the oracles in chapters 24–27 have a universal scope. Their meaning seems to transcend any one specific historical situation. Nevertheless, in verses 10–12, this oracle describes judgment against a particular nation, Moab. Many interpreters believe that Moab is being used here as a specific example of a general truth. Moab, which was a longtime enemy of Israel, may be used as an illustration of what will happen to all nations that proudly oppose Yahweh and his purposes for the world.
