Gill's Notes on the Bible
The calamity of Moab [is] near to come,.... As it did come within live years after the destruction of Jerusalem, as observed on
Jeremiah 48:12; out of Josephus:
and his affliction hasteth fast: or, "his evil" z the evil of punishment for his sin; his utter destruction.
z רעתו "malum ejus", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Near to come - Twenty-three years elapsed between the fourth year of Jehoiakim, when this prophecy was spoken, and its accomplishment by the invasion of Moab five years after the capture of Jerusalem. So slowly does God’s justice move onward.
