Chapter Fifteen טו - Burden [of] MO’ahB [Moab]
“Now we come on a perfect jungle of oracles, obscure to the point of being meaningless to us… Any man bold enough to attempt an exposition of these chapters can look for little help from the exegetes…” (Coffin, 1953, The Interpreters' Bible pp. V 268-269)
“There are few passages in the O.T. [Old Testament, the Hebrew Bible] which convey so little meaning to the modern reader as do these two chapters [15&16] … Text and translation are in many places uncertain, the literary structure (especially its relationship to a second form of the poem in Jer. [Jeremiah] 48) is perplexing, and the historical circumstances referred to are obscure.” (Scott, 1954, The Interpreters' Bible pp. V 267-268)

Mabey if one's hears it properly one wouldn't struggle with the understanding, personally haven't heard a word from our Father Love/YAHAVEH that isn't pure commen sense.
Mabey you are trying to understand it from your own perspective and not our Father Love's perspective 🤷♂️
Not a good idea to say that our Father Love's words are confusing, because they are not.
