Exegesis
The adverb loken {לֹא־כֵ֥ן | lō-kên} ‘not thus’ introduces a sharp contrast with badav {בַּדָּֽיו | ba-dā-v} ‘his boasts’, whose verbless clause heightens the rebuke.
In context — Isaiah 16:6
We have heard of Moab’s pride—how very proud he is—his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath ; but his boasts are not true.
