Isaiah 25:11
Compare all
9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
aWe have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
bWe will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” 
10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And aMoab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap. 
11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their apride
Together with the trickery of their hands. 
12 The afortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

Isaiah 25:11

he—Jehovah shall spread His hands to strike the foe on this side and on that, with as little effort as a swimmer spreads forth his arms to cleave a passage through the water [CALVIN]. (Zechariah 5:3). LOWTH takes "he" as Moab, who, in danger of sinking, shall strain every nerve to save himself; but Jehovah (and "he") shall cause him to sink ("bring down the pride" of Moab, Isaiah 16:6).

with the spoils of . . . hands—literally, "the craftily acquired spoils" of his (Moab's) hands [BARNES]. Moab's pride, as well as the sudden gripe of his hands (namely, whereby he tries to save himself from drowning) [LOWTH]. "Together with the joints of his hands," that is, though Moab struggle against Jehovah hand and foot [MAURER].
