Isaia 16:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 16:13

This [is] the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning
Moab
That is, this prophecy now delivered out is what comes from the Lord; it is the word of the Lord, and not of man, and so shall certainly come to pass; when this word was spoken follows: since that time;
from eternity, as some, and so refer it to the decree of God within himself; or from the time that Moab was in being, or a nation, as others; or from the time that Balak hired Balaam to curse Israel, so Jarchi; or rather from the time that the Lord made known his mind and will, concerning this matter, to the prophet Isaiah: for it should be rendered, "this is that word which the Lord spake concerning Moab then" ^F9; that is, at the time or year in which Ahaz died, ( Isaiah 14:28 ) and is observed, to distinguish it from what the prophet spoke, or was about to speak, now or from this time, concerning him, as in the next verse ( Isaiah 16:14 ) .

Isaia 16:13 In-Context

11 Perciò le mie viscere fremono per Moab come un’arpa, e geme il mio cuore per Kir-Heres.

12 E quando Moab si presenterà, quando si affaticherà su l’alto luogo ed entrerà nel suo santuario a pregare, esso nulla otterrà.

13 Questa è la parola che l’Eterno già da lungo tempo pronunziò contro Moab.

14 E ora l’Eterno parla e dice: "Fra tre anni, contati come quelli d’un mercenario, la gloria di Moab cadrà in disprezzo, nonostante la sua gran moltitudine; e ciò che ne resterà sarà poca, pochissima cosa, senza forza".
