[1] Yahweh says:
“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 among them,
and will kill all its princes with him,”says Yahweh. [4] Yahweh says:
“For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
because they have rejected Yahweh’s law,
and have not kept his statutes,
and their lies have led them astray,
after which their fathers walked;
[5] but I will send a fire on Judah,
and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.” [6] Yahweh says:
“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] They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth
and deny justice to the oppressed.
A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
[8] They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge.
In the house of their God§ they drink the wine of those who 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] I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for Nazirites.
Isn’t this true,
you children of Israel?” says Yahweh.
[12] “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
[13] Behold,§ I will crush you in your place,
as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
[14] Flight will perish from the swift.
The strong won’t strengthen his force.
The mighty won’t deliver himself.
[15] He who handles the bow won’t stand.
He who is swift of foot won’t escape.
He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
[16] He who is courageous among the mighty
will flee away naked on that day,”says Yahweh.
