| H.L. Ellison” Old Testament prophets IntraText CT - Text |
There are two prophecies here, see 16:13. It is not clear whether the earlier, 15:1-16:12 is one of Isaiah’s earliest, or whether it is by an earlier prophet. 16:1 implies a strong ruler in Jerusalem who controls Edom. Uzziah is the last king to satisfy the picture. It is equally uncertain whether the earlier prophecy had been fulfilled at the time, or whether Isaiah is saying that it is now to come into effect.
