Isaiah 16:14
_ _ three years ... hireling — Just as a hireling has his fixed term of engagement, which neither he nor his master will allow to be added to or to be taken from, so the limit within which Moab is to fall is unalterably fixed (Isaiah 21:16). Fulfilled about the time when the Assyrians led Israel into captivity. The ruins of Elealeh, Heshbon, Medeba, Dibon, etc., still exist to confirm the inspiration of Scripture. The accurate particularity of specification of the places three thousand years ago, confirmed by modern research, is a strong testimony to the truth of prophecy. |
Isaiah 16:14
The Lord — Hath made this farther discovery of his mind to me. Three years — This may well be understood of some great blow given to the Moabites, either by Sennacherib, or his son Esarhaddon, from which notwithstanding they recovered and flourished again 'till Nebuchadnezzar compleated their destruction. Hireling — Within three years precisely counted; for hirelings are very punctual in observing the time for which they are hired. The glory — Their strength, and wealth, and other things in which they glory, shall be made contemptible to those who formerly admired them. With — With the great numbers of their people, of which they boasted. |
Isaiah 16:14
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, (o) Within three years, as the years of an (p) hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be despised, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
(o) He appointed a certain time to punish the enemies in.
(p) Who will observe justly the time for which he is hired and serve no longer but will ever long for it. |
