[1] Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, 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 Jehovah.
[4] Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk. [5] But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
[6] Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes— [7] they 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 go unto the same maiden, to profane my holy name: [8] and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.
[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 out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in 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 Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah. [12] But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
[13] Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves. [14] And 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 Jehovah.
