The prophecy of Moab was not one of good fortune. It actually sounded pretty horrible, but then it continues. The Moab people didn't want to hear their fate. They wanted to hear that something could change. We all would.
The Moabites hid in caves and sough counsel. They had no hope. They once were strong aggressors, but after three years they would be the most hated and despised people. Their pride broken. They would only have a few survivors. Their loud cries were silenced.
They had to turn to Judah for refuge. They ended up living in Edom and paying tribute for the curtesy. They begged for protection from the people they once bullied. Their entire world changed drastically in a short amount of time and it was never recovered.
Isaiah 16
