1 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.2 And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:3 And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.4 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.5 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;7 Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:8 By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.9 Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.10 And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.11 And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.12 But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.14 And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:15 And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.16 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.

1 [Hc dicit Dominus :Super tribus sceleribus Moab,et super quatuor non convertam eum,eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idum usque ad cinerem.2 Et mittam ignem in Moab,et devorabit des Carioth :et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tub.3 Et disperdam judicem de medio ejus,et omnes principes ejus interficiam cum eo,dicit Dominus.]4 [Hc dicit Dominus :Super tribus sceleribus Juda,et super quatuor non convertam eum,eo quod abjecerit legem Dominiet mandata ejus non custodierit :deceperant enim eos idola sua,post qu abierant patres eorum.5 Et mittam ignem in Juda,et devorabit des Jerusalem.6 Hc dicit Dominus :Super tribus sceleribus Isral,et super quatuor non convertam eum,pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento justum,et pauperem pro calceamentis.7 Qui conterunt super pulverem terr capita pauperum,et viam humilium declinant :et filius ac pater ejus ierunt ad puellam,ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt juxta omne altare,et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.9 Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhum a facie eorum,cujus altitudo, cedrorum altitudo ejus,et fortis ipse quasi quercus ;et contrivi fructum ejus desuper,et radices ejus subter.10 Ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra gypti,et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis,ut possideretis terram Amorrhi.11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas,et de juvenibus vestris nazaros.Numquid non ita est, filii Isral ? dicit Dominus.12 Et propinabitis nazaris vinum,et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes :Ne prophetetis.13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos,sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fno.14 Et peribit fuga a veloce,et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam,et robustus non salvabit animam suam :15 et tenens arcum non stabit,et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur,et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam :16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die,dicit Dominus.]
