God's Total Victory
Commentators agree that the imagery for Moab and Edom expresses absolute conquest. Calling Moab a "washpot" reduces it to the most menial household object, used for washing feet. Casting a shoe over Edom signifies either claiming it as property or treating it like a slave who must clean footwear. This vivid language illustrates God's power to completely subdue the foes of His people.
