1
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away
the punishment
thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
2
But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting,
and
with the sound of the trumpet:
3
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the
L
ORD
.
4
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away
the punishment
thereof; because they have despised the law of the
L
ORD
, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away
the punishment
thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
7
That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the
same
maid, to profane my holy name:
8
And they lay
themselves
down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned
in
the house of their god.
9
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height
was
like the height of the cedars, and he
was
strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10
Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites.
Is it
not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the
L
ORD
.
12
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed
that is
full of sheaves.
14
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and
he that is
swift of foot shall not deliver
himself:
neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
16
And
he that is
courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the
L
ORD
.
