Context — Moab’s Destruction
10Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.
11Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.
12When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.
13This is the message that the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab. 14And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”Cross References

Isaiah 16:12 Summary
This verse is saying that even when Moab tries to pray and seek help from his gods, it won't do him any good because he is not praying to the one true God. This reminds us that we need to seek the Lord and pray to Him in sincerity and truth, rather than relying on our own strength or rituals, as we see in Psalm 145:18. We can learn from Moab's mistake by trusting in the Lord's power and provision, rather than our own, and seeking Him in times of need, as encouraged in Jeremiah 29:12-13 and Matthew 7:7-8.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Moab to appear on the high place and enter his sanctuary to pray?
This refers to Moab's attempt to seek relief and comfort through his own religious rituals and practices, but it will ultimately be ineffective, as seen in Isaiah 16:12, and is a reminder that true salvation comes from the Lord, as stated in Isaiah 45:22.
Why will Moab's prayers do him no good?
Moab's prayers will be unsuccessful because they are not directed to the one true God, but rather to idols, and the Lord will not hear the prayers of those who reject Him, as written in Proverbs 28:9 and Isaiah 1:15.
Is this verse saying that prayer is useless?
No, this verse is specifically talking about Moab's prayers, which are not offered to the true God, and are therefore ineffective, whereas prayer to the one true God can be powerful and effective, as seen in James 5:16 and Psalm 145:18.
What can we learn from Moab's mistake?
We can learn the importance of seeking the Lord and praying to Him in sincerity and truth, rather than relying on our own strength or rituals, as encouraged in Jeremiah 29:12-13 and Matthew 7:7-8.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be trying to find comfort or relief in my own strength or rituals, rather than seeking the Lord?
- How can I ensure that my prayers are directed to the one true God, and not to idols or my own desires?
- What does it mean for me to 'weary myself' in prayer, and how can I avoid this?
- In what ways can I trust in the Lord's power and provision, rather than my own, in times of difficulty or uncertainty?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 16:12
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place,.... With weeping there, Isaiah 15:2 or with frequent sacrifices, and going from one high place to another, as Balak
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 16:12
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 16:12
When it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place; when it shall appear to them and others that all their other devotions are vain and ineffectual. To his sanctuary; to the temple of his great god, Chemosh, , from whom he shall seek and expect succour. He shall not prevail; his god can neither hear nor help him.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 16:12
Isaiah 16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.Ver. 12. That Moab is weary on the high place.] Tired out in his superstitious services, by all which he is not a button the better, but a great deal the worse. But he shall not prevail.] This is every wicked man’ s case and curse; for "we know that God heareth not sinners." He will never accept of a good motion from a bad mouth. The very heathen could say, “Oςκε Yεοιςεπιπειθηται, μαλατ’ εκλυοναυτου.”
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 16:12
(12) When it is seen . . .—Better thus: When Moab appeareth (sc., as a worshipper), when he wearies himself on the high place (the scene of Chemosh-worship), though he enter into the sanctuary to pray, yet shall he not prevail. The prophet draws a picture of the unavailing litanies which Moab, like the priests of Baal in 1 Kings 18:26, shall offer to his gods.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 16:12
Verse 12. When it is seen that Moab, &c. - "When Moab shall see," &c.] For נראה nirah, a MS. reads ראה raah, and so the Syriac and Chaldee. "Perhaps כי נראה ki nirah is only a various reading of כי נלאה ki nilah." SECKER. A very probable conjecture.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 16:12
12. The failure of Moab’s religious confidence. The verse reproduces the thought of Isa 15:2, at the beginning of the elegy. It reads thus: and when Moab appears, when he wearies himself, upon the high place, and enters his sanctuary to pray, he shall prevail nothing. Ewald however turns the verse into a promise of the conversion of Moab, by continuing the protasis to the end of the present text, and completing the sense as follows (guided by Jeremiah 48:13): … “and prevails nothing, then he shall be ashamed of Chemosh, and turn to Jehovah.”
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 16:12
When it is seen - When it occurs; that is, when Moab actually “becomes” weary.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 16:12
12-14. From times long, long past, Jehovah denounced calamity to Moab. Poole refers to Numbers 21:27-30, as intended. To the nation as a whole there was no relief.
