Isaiah 16:6

We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Proud exceedingly! His haughtiness and his arrogance and his passion, Not true, are his boastings.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

In Context

5So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David,—Judging—and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.

7Therefore shall, Moab, howl for, Moab, All that belong to her, shall wail,—For the ruins of Kir-hareseth, shall they moan out Utterly stricken!
