Moab: Moab has long since ceased to be a nation; while the Jews, agreeably to the Divine promise (Jer 46:28), though successively subdued and oppressed by the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Syro-Macedonians, and Romans (which have also all passed away, and are no more), and dispersed over the face of the earth, subsist to this day as a distinct people from all the nations of the world!

Yet will I bring: Many of the Moabites were afterwards restored to their country by Cyrus, as we learn from Josephus; but they never were restored to their national consequence; and perhaps their restoration in the latter days refers to the conversion of their scattered remnants to the gospel.
