Isaiah 16

Isaiah 16:14
"Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent."
Some of the prophecies in the Bible are rather vague.  They may not say exactly who will be affected, or how.  A number are vague on time.  Some refer to things that will be imminent, and some to things that are millennia in the future.

This is not one of those times.  God specifically says this will occur within 3 years (not sure how the hired man counts; maybe 3 years to the day?).  Within three years of when this was uttered and/or written down, Moab would be no more.  We sometimes ask for clarity on when God will do something; perhaps we shouldn't always.
