Isaiah 16:14

14But now the Lord says: “Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”

14But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as 16:14 Lit the years of a hireda hired worker would count them, the glory of Moab will become contemptible along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and 16:14 Lit not mightyimpotent.”

14But now the Lord speaks, saying, “Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent.”

14But now the Lord speaks, saying, “Within 16:14 This prophecy was fulfilled after the death of King Ahaz of Judah (Is 14:28), about the third year of King Hezekiah’s reign. Moab was not left completely without population at this time; there was still a “remnant.” The final desolation of Moab was reserved for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 582 b.c., some five years after the taking of Jerusalem. The ruins of Elealeh, Heshbon, Medeba, Dimon, etc., still exist to confirm through modern research the accuracy of the fulfillment of this prophecy.three years, as the years of a hired man [who will not serve longer than the agreed time], the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all 16:14 Lit all the great number.the great population, and the remnant [that survives] will be very small and of no account.”

14And now the Lord says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”

14But now he says, “In exactly three years, people will look down on Moab’s glory. Now Moab has many people. But by that time only a few of them will be left alive. And even they will be weak.”
