12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down, lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.
12 Their famous fortifications will crumble to nothing, those mighty walls reduced to dust.
12 The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
12 The high walls of Moab will be demolished. They will be brought down to the ground, down into the dust.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 25:12
Commentary on Isaiah 25:9-12
(Read Isaiah 25:9-12)
With joy and praise will those entertain the glad tidings of the Redeemer, who looked for him; and with a triumphant song will glorified saints enter into the joy of their Lord. And it is not in vain to wait for him; for the mercy comes at last, with abundant recompence for the delay. The hands once stretched out upon the cross, to make way for our salvation, will at length be stretched forth to destroy all impenitent sinners. Moab is here put for all adversaries of God's people; they shall all be trodden down or threshed. God shall bring down the pride of the enemies by one humbling judgment after another. This destruction of Moab is typical of Christ's victory, and the pulling down of Satan's strong holds. Therefore, beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
