Isaiah 15 9 Commentary
This verse speaks of a further military action or the escalation of existing conflict that will overwhelm the remaining populace of Moab. The phrase "from above" suggests divine enablement or origination of the distress. The act of "sending forth" implies the deliberate deployment of hostile forces. The mention of "adding to the sorrow" or increasing the land's burden highlights the severity and ongoing nature of the judgment. It’s a clear indicator that divine retribution will not cease until its full course is run. This judgment serves as a stark reminder that God's justice extends to all nations who persistently engage in unrighteousness and defiance.
