1. sense 1 — Isaiah 16:4 promises Moabite refugees that oppression will end: 'the extortioner has ceased.' The 'squeezer' (from a root meaning compress or press) wrings wealth or compliance from the vulnerable. Spanish 'opresor' (oppressor) generalizes the violence; the Hebrew focuses on extraction—pressing resources out like juice from grapes. This is economic brutality personified, now promised to end. 1×
