Exegesis
The passive result is marked by the Niphal perfect wə-niklā {וְנִקְלָה | wə-nik-lā} ‘will be despised,’ targeting kə-vōḏ Mō-ʾāḇ {כְּבוֹד מוֹאָב | kə-vōḏ mō-ʾāḇ} ‘the glory of Moab.’
In context — Isaiah 16:14
And now the LORD has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as the years of a hired worker , the glory of Moab will be brought into contempt among all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small, not mighty.”
