27
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 27. Thieves. Calmet. 2:26. Calmet.—Prot. “was he found among thieves? for since thou speakest of him, thou skippest for joy.” Bible.—Chaldee agrees with the Vulg. which is clearer. Calmet.—Septuagint “hath he been found stealing from thee, since thou hast fought against him?” Grabe subjoins, “Thou shalt go into banishment. Bible.—As Moab was related to Israel, his derision was the more criminal, and more grievously punished. Worthington.
