Isaiah 25:10

Moab. as straw. for the dunghill. Note the Figure of speech Homoeopropheron (App-6). Moab. mathben, beMo Madmenah. which occurs only here, is used to complete the Figure of speech Homoeopropheron. See above.

trodden down. beaten to pieces by treading.

for the dunghill. in Madmenah, as in Isaiah 10:31 and Jeremiah 48:2, Revised Version quite wrong, "in the water of the dunghill". Dung is never watered in the East, but dried, and used as fuel (Ezekiel 4:15), and is found only in the streets of towns and villages. In Psalms 83:10 "earth" is adamah. ground. See note there.
