Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 16:12

“And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on his high places, that he shall go in to his sanctuaries to pray, and shall not prevail.”

“Here he shows their frustration, concerning both the idols to which they sacrificed in high places and the idols to which they sacrificed in temples when they were in fear: where are their gods, in whom they trusted? (Deut 32:37).”
