“But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.”
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble—the update of the oracle with a specific timeframe (three years), indicating the imminence of judgment. The comparison to an hireling's three-year term suggests a completed cycle. This verse concludes the oracle against Moab with temporal specification.
