Comentário sobre Isaías 16:13

This is the word the end of Moab’s destruction at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.

Hath spoken. His word is His decree.²⁶The decrees of the Lord are according to I. E. not mere words, but facts; they are the first step towards their realisation. The expression hath spoken, is a figure taken from the custom of a king, who gives the orders to his servants. The figure is used in order to bring the idea of the divine decree nearer to our understanding.

that the Lord spoke concerning Moab long ago Many days before the calamity came upon it, Isaiah prophesied this about it. Alternatively, “Long ago,” denotes the time when Balak hired Balaam.
