1 Thus says Yahweh: For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst of it, and will slay all its princes with him, says Yahweh.4 Thus says Yahweh: For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers walked:5 but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.6 Thus says Yahweh: For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals--7 those who 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 to the [same] maiden, to profane my holy name:8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.9 Yet I destroyed 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 you{+} sons of Israel? says Yahweh.12 But you{+} gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Don't prophesy.13 Look, I will press [you{+}] in your{+} place, as a cart presses that is full of sheaves.14 And flight will perish from the swift; and the strong will not strengthen his force; neither will the mighty deliver himself;15 neither will he stand that handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot will not deliver [himself]; neither will he who rides the horse deliver himself;16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked in that day, says Yahweh.
