It is a shameful destruction and such as shall expose them to contempt: Moab is made drunk (v. 26), and he that is made drunk is made vile; he shall wallow in his vomit, and become an odious spectacle, and shalljustly be in derision.

Note, Those that are haughty are preparing reproach and ignominy for themselves.
