And now the Lord hath spoken, saying: In three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be taken away for all the multitude of the people, and it shall be left small and feeble, not many.

VERSE (14) -
Isa 7:16; 15:5; 21:16 De 15:8

SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:14

Pero ahora el SEÑOR habló, diciendo: Dentro de tres años, como cuenta los años un jornalero, será abatida la gloria de Moab, con toda su gran multitud; y sus residuos serán pocos, pequeños, y no fuertes.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:14

Verse 14. Within three years] lb beshal ish lk keshalish, according, or in or about three years, is the reading of nine of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and two ancient editions.

But the present reading may well stand: "Now, the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling." It seems as if this prophecy had been delivered before, without any time specified for its fulfillment; but now the time is determined"in three years, as the years of a hireling"-for, as a hireling counts even to a single day, and will not abide with his employer an hour beyond the time agreed on; so, in three years, even to a day, from the delivery of this prophecy, shall destruction come upon Moab. This is the import of the present text; but if we take lk keshalish, AS in three years, or in about three years' time, the prophecy is not so definite.

These three years, says Calmet, are mentioned from the death of Ahaz, see chap. xiv. 28, and end the third year of Hezekiah, three years before the taking of Samaria by Shalmaneser. This conquerer did not ruin Moab so completely as not to leave a man in the land; the final desolation of Moab was reserved for Nebuchadnezzar, five years after the taking of Jerusalem.

Feeble "And without strength."] An ancient MS., with the Septuagint, reads alw velo, "and not."


Matthew Henry Commentary
Moab is exhorted to yield obedience. (Is. 16:1-5) The pride and the judgments of Moab. (Is. 16:6-14)

Is. 16:1-5 God tells sinners what they may do to prevent ruin; so he does to Moab. Let them send the tribute they formerly engaged to pay to Judah. Take it as good advice. Break off thy sins by righteousness, it may lengthen thy quiet. And this may be applied to the great gospe duty of submission to Christ. Send him the lamb, the best you have yourselves a living sacrifice. When you come to God, the great Ruler come in the name of the Lamb, the Lamb of God. Those who will no submit to Christ, shall be as a bird that wanders from her nest, whic shall be snatched up by the next bird of prey. Those who will not yiel to the fear of God, shall be made to yield to the fear of every thin else. He advises them to be kind to the seed of Israel. Those tha expect to find favour when in trouble themselves, must show favour to those in trouble. What is here said concerning the throne of Hezekiah also belongs, in a much higher sense, to the kingdom of Jesus Christ Though by subjection to Him we may not enjoy worldly riches or honours but may be exposed to poverty and contempt, we shall have peace of conscience and eternal life.

Is. 16:6-14 Those who will not be counselled, cannot be helped. Mor souls are ruined by pride than by any other sin whatever. Also, the very proud are commonly very passionate. With lies many seek to gai the gratification of pride and passion, but they shall not compas proud and angry projects. Moab was famous for fields and vineyards; but they shall be laid waste by the invading army. God can soon tur laughter into mourning, and joy into heaviness. In God let us alway rejoice with holy triumph; in earthly things let us always rejoice with holy trembling. The prophet looks with concern on the desolations of such a pleasant country; it causes inward grief. The false gods of Moa are unable to help; and the God of Israel, the only true God, can an will make good what he has spoken. Let Moab know her ruin is very near and prepare. The most awful declarations of Divine wrath, discover the way of escape to those who take warning. There is no escape, but by submission to the Son of David, and devoting ourselves to him. And, a length, when the appointed time comes, all the glory, prosperity, an multitude of the wicked shall perish __________________________________________________________________
