Thus saith the LORD
; 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
:
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
:
And I will cut off the judge
from the midst
thereof, and will slay
all the princes
thereof with him, saith
the LORD
.
Thus saith the LORD
; For three
transgressions
of Judah
, and for four
, I will not turn away
the punishment thereof; because they have despised
the law
of the LORD
, 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
.
Thus saith the LORD
; 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
;
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
:
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
.
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.
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
.
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 LORD
.
But ye gave the Nazarites wine
to drink
; and commanded
the prophets
, saying
, Prophesy
not.
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart
is pressed
that is full
of sheaves
.
Therefore the flight shall perish
from the swift
, and the strong
shall not strengthen
his force
, neither shall the mighty
deliver
himself
:
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
.
And he that is courageous among the mighty
shall flee away
naked
in that day
, saith
the LORD
.
