Isaiah 16:14

If ch. Isaiah 15:1 to Isaiah 16:12 describe real events, the verse shews that in the interval Moab had recovered some measure of its former prosperity.

as the years of a hireling As the hireling serves for the stipulated time, but not a moment longer, so the judgment on Moab shall not be deferred beyond the space of three years (cf. ch. Isaiah 21:16).

the glory of Moab(Isaiah 16:6) shall be contemned or "contemptible."

the remnant … feeble lit. "the remnant shall be small, little (ch. Isaiah 10:25; Isaiah 29:17 of time), not strong." It is hazardous to assume that the "remnant" here is the nucleus of a regenerated Messianic community.
