Study note

Isaiah 16:14

  • In three years, as a hired worker counts the years (see also Isaiah 21:16): A man who sold himself into servitude would calculate the remaining time down to the last day. This verse refers to unknown events.

  • The glory of Moab will be ended, probably because of the Assyrian conquest of Moab (late 700s BC).

  • those who are left will be few and feeble: Though reduced by war, the Moabites still existed during Nehemiah’s time (Nehemiah 13:23).
