¹ So says the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it; 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 kill all the princes of it with him, says the LORD. ⁴ So says the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to go astray, after the which their fathers have walked ⁵ But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. ⁶ So says the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it; 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 to the same maid, to profane my holy name ⁸ And they lay themselves down on 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 So, O you children of Israel? says the LORD. ¹² But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. ¹³ See, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. ¹⁴ Therefore the 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 that is swift of foot will not deliver himself: neither will he that rides the horse deliver himself. ¹⁶ And he that is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked in that day, says the LORD.
