isaiah 16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

isaiah 16:7 Therefore Moab shall wail; everyone of Moab shall wail. You shall moan for the raisin cakes of Kirhareseth As those who are utterly stricken.

7. Therefore--all hope of being allowed shelter by the Jews being cut off.
foundations--that is, "ruins"; because, when houses are pulled down, the "foundations" alone are left (Isa 58:12). Jeremiah, in the parallel place (Jer 48:31), renders it "men," who are the moral foundations or stay of a city.
Kirhareseth--literally, "a citadel of brick."
surely they are stricken--rather, joined with "mourn"; "Ye shall mourn utterly stricken" [MAURER and HORSLEY].

isaiah 16:7 Therefore Moab shall wail; everyone of Moab shall wail. You shall moan for the raisin cakes of Kirhareseth As those who are utterly stricken.
