# General Information:
|
|
|
|
This continues the prophecy about the people of Moab. God describes events that will happen in the future as if it is happening in the present ([Isaiah 15:1-2](../15/01.md)).

# We have heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger
|
|
|
|
The words "Moab's" and "his" refer to the people of Moab. Alternate translation: "We have heard that the people of Moab are proud and arrogant, boastful and angry" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# We have heard
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are that 1) Isaiah is speaking and "We" refers to him and the people of Judah, or 2) God is speaking and "We" refers to God.

# But his boastings are empty words
|
|
|
|
"But what they say about themselves means nothing" or "But what they boast about is not true"
