Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:13

13. since that time—rather, "respecting that time" [HORSLEY]. BARNES translates it, "formerly" in contrast to "but now" (Isaiah 16:14): heretofore former prophecies (Exodus 15:15; Numbers 21:29) have been given as to Moab, of which Isaiah has given the substance: but now a definite and steady time also is fixed. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 16:13-14

Isaiah concluded this oracle by announcing Moab’s imminent ruin (cf. Isaiah 15:1). The preceding verses describe an earlier revelation that the prophet received, but now he learned that Moab’s invasion would be within three years. A hired man would count down the three years day by day, and the Judeans would do the same as they anticipated the degrading of Moab’s glory and population. Only a remnant would survive.The fulfillment came when Assyria invaded Moab sometime between 715 and 713 B.C.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:1-14

1. RV ’Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela which is toward the wilderness,’ etc. Mesha, king of Moab, had rendered to Israel tribute of lambs and rams (2 Kings 3:4). The prophet here bids the Moabites send tribute to Judah and thus secure protection by renewing their allegiance to God’s people; or perhaps in this v. the Moabite chiefs are pictured as exhorting one another to this step. From Sela] in Edom, where the fugitive Moabites have taken refuge. 2. Timid and not knowing... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 16:13

(13) Since that time.—The phrase is used of an indefinite past, like our “of yore,” or “of old time.” It is variously translated by “hitherto” (2 Samuel 15:34), “from the beginning” (Isaiah 48:3; Isaiah 48:5; Isaiah 48:7). It seems to imply that thus far Isaiah had been in part reproducing the “burden” of an older prophet, or of one given to him to deliver at an earlier date. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 16:1-14

The Core of Prophecy Isaiah 15-16 The fifteenth and sixteenth chapters give "the burden of Moab;" then follow the burdens, or oracles, of Damascus, Ethiopia, and Egypt. We have thus to deal with a vision which looks out upon all directions with a judgment which permits nothing to escape its scrutiny and verdict. The principle of prophecy is the same throughout; for want of applying this doctrine many men have become lost in prophetic detail and colour which really have next to nothing to do... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 16:13-14

Here is the close of the history of Moab, and an awful history it is. The Lord's purpose, and the time of executing his purpose, are both determined: so hath it been in all ages, and so it is, and must be accomplished. What a solemn, but beautiful observation the apostle Peter makes upon this subject, in the close of one of his Epistles: he had been observing, with much pain of mind, how profane scoffers held in contempt the Lord's threatenings of sinners, and closeth up the observation with a... read more
