[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.

Moab

[1] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Moab, H4124 and for four, H702 I will H7725 not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because he burned H8313 the bones H6106 of the king H4428 of Edom H123 into lime: H7875 [2] but I will send H7971 a fire H784 upon Moab, H4124 and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Kirioth: H7152 and Moab H4124 shall die H4191 with tumult, H7588 with shouting, H8643 and with the sound H6963 of the trumpet: H7782 [3] and I will cut off H3772 the judge H8199 from the midst H7130 thereof, and will slay H2026 all H3605 the princes H8269 thereof with him, saith H559 the Lord. H3068

Judah

[4] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Judah, H3063 and for four, H702 I will H7725 not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despised H3988 H853 the law H8451 of the Lord, H3068 and have not kept H8104 his commandments, H2706 and their lies H3577 caused them to err, H8582 after H310 the which their fathers H1 have walked: H1980 [5] but I will send H7971 a fire H784 upon Judah, H3063 and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Jerusalem. H3389

Israel

[6] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Israel, H3478 and for four, H702 I will H7725 not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because they sold H4376 the righteous H6662 for silver, H3701 and the poor H34 for a pair of shoes; H5275 [7] that pant H7602 after the dust H6083 of the earth H776 on H5921 the head H7218 of the poor, H1800 and turn aside H5186 the way H1870 of the meek: H6035 and a man H376 and his father H1 will go H3212 in unto the same maid,§ H5291 to profane H2490 my holy H6944 H853 name: H8034 [8] and they lay themselves down H5186 upon H5921 clothes H899 laid to pledge H2254 by H681 every H3605 altar, H4196 and they drink H8354 the wine H3196 of the condemned H6064§ in the house H1004 of their god. H430 [9] Yet destroyed H8045 H853 I the Amorite H567 before H6440 them, whose height H1363 was like the height H1363 of the cedars, H730 and he was strong H2634 as the oaks; H437 yet I destroyed H8045 his fruit H6529 from above, H4605 and his roots H8328 from beneath. [10] Also I brought you up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and led H3212 you forty H705 years H8141 through the wilderness, H4057 to possess H3423 the land H776 of the Amorite. H567 [11] And I raised up H6965 of your sons H1121 for prophets, H5030 and of your young men H970 for Nazarites. H5139 Is it not even thus, O ye children H1121 of Israel? H3478 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [12] H853 But ye gave the Nazarites H5139 wine H3196 to drink; H8248 and commanded H6680 the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 Prophesy H5012 not. [13] Behold, I am pressed H5781 under you, as a cart H5699 is pressed H5781 that is full H4392 of sheaves. H5995§ [14] Therefore the flight H4498 shall perish H6 from the swift, H7031 and the strong H2389 shall H553 not H3808 strengthen H553 his force, H3581 neither shall the mighty H1368 deliver H4422 himself: H5315§ [15] neither shall he stand H5975 that handleth H8610 the bow; H7198 and he that is swift H7031 of foot H7272 shall H4422 not H3808 deliver H4422 himself: neither shall he that rideth H7392 the horse H5483 deliver H4422 himself. H5315 [16] And he that is courageous§ H533 H3820 among the mighty H1368 shall flee away H5127 naked H6174 in that day, H3117 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068
