Notes
My heart cries out over Moab: The prophet joined the mourning to show how much Moab suffered.
Zoar was in the southeastern part of the Dead Sea (Genesis 14:2; 19:23).
This message of judgment and sorrow was about Moab's fall. The many references to Moabite places show that Isaiah knew Moab well.
