What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
We have heard of the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his pride, and his arrogancy, and his indignation, is more than his strength. Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken. …
Thomas Aquinas
Here he sets out contempt of counsel proceeding from their pride. Hence he describes their pride as to three things: first, as to its being made commonly known: we have heard, as if it were public; as to its quantity: he is exceeding proud; as to its exceeding their dignity: his pride, by which he extolls himself as to the gifts he possesses, and his arrogancy, by which he pretends to have gifts that he does not possess, and his indignation, by which he presumptuously proposes vengeance, is more than his strength.
