以赛亚书 16:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 16:11

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab
Making a noise as the harp does, and a mournful one as that, when used at funerals; which it makes when it is stricken or played on with the hand, as these were, through the afflictive and punitive hand of God; and which, when stricken, causes a quavering of the strings, to which the inward trembling of the bowels is compared, and is very expressive of the prophet's sympathy, or those he personates; for, when one string of the harp is touched, the rest sound. For these words, as Kimchi says, are spoken in the language of the Moabites; those that survived lamenting the desolate state of their country, which must be very great and affecting; and to show that it was so is the design of the prophet's expressing himself after this manner; for if it was painful to him, it must be much more so to them; so the Targum,

``wherefore the bowels of the Moabites shall sound as a harp;''
of the sounding of the bowels, see ( Isaiah 63:15 ) ( Jeremiah 4:9 ) : and mine inward parts for Kirharesh:
the same with Kirhareseth, ( Isaiah 16:7 ) which being a principal city, the destruction of it was greatly laid to heart. The Targum is,
``and their heart shall grieve for the men of the city of their strength;''
it being a strong city, in which they placed their confidence; but being destroyed, and the inhabitants of it, it was very affecting, to which agrees ( Jeremiah 48:31 ) .

以赛亚书 16:11 In-Context

9 因 此 , 我 要 为 西 比 玛 的 葡 萄 树 哀 哭 , 与 雅 谢 人 哀 哭 一 样 。 希 实 本 、 以 利 亚 利 啊 , 我 要 以 眼 泪 浇 灌 你 ; 因 为 有 交 战 呐 喊 的 声 音 临 到 你 夏 天 的 果 子 , 并 你 收 割 的 庄 稼 。
10 从 肥 美 的 田 中 夺 去 了 欢 喜 快 乐 ; 在 葡 萄 园 里 必 无 歌 唱 , 也 无 欢 呼 的 声 音 。 踹 酒 的 在 酒 ? 中 不 得 踹 出 酒 来 ; 我 使 他 欢 呼 的 声 音 止 息 。
11 因 此 , 我 心 腹 为 摩 押 哀 鸣 如 琴 ; 我 心 肠 为 吉 珥 哈 列 设 也 是 如 此 。
12 摩 押 人 朝 见 的 时 候 , 在 高 处 疲 乏 , 又 到 他 圣 所 祈 祷 , 也 不 蒙 应 允 。
13 这 是 耶 和 华 从 前 论 摩 押 的 话 。
