“When Moab presents himself,
When he wearies himself
Upon the high place,
When he comes
To his sanctuary to pray,
He will not prevail.”
Despite all the affection for their situation, Isaiah is clear that the Moabites will not prevail. When they present themselves to their high place to pray, they will not be heard. When they weary themselves in the sanctuary, their prayers will be useless.
