Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - This is the word, etc. The third and concluding section begins here. This prophecy, Isaiah says, is one, not now delivered for the first time, but existent previously. How long previously, he leaves quite vague.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Since that time.--The phrase is used of an indefinite past, like our "of yore," or "of old time." It is variously translated by "hitherto" (2Samuel 15:34), "from the beginning" (Isaiah 48:3; Isaiah 48:5; Isaiah 48:7). It seems to imply that thus far Isaiah had been in part reproducing the "burden" of an older prophet, or of one given to him to deliver at an earlier date.
