\v 1 This is what Yahweh says:
|
|
\q "For three sins of Moab,
|
|
\q even for four,
|
|
\q I will not turn away punishment,
|
|
\q because he burned the bones
|
|
\q of the king of Edom to lime.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 I will send fire on Moab,
|
|
\q and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth.
|
|
\q Moab will die in an uproar,
|
|
\q with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 I will destroy the judge in her,
|
|
\q and I will kill all the princes with him,"
|
|
\q says Yahweh.

|

\v 4 This is what Yahweh says:
|
|
\q "For three sins of Judah,
|
|
\q even for four,
|
|
\q I will not turn away punishment,
|
|
\q because they rejected the law of Yahweh
|
|
\q and did not keep his statutes.
|
|
\q Their lies caused them to go astray,
|
|
\q after which their fathers had also walked.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 I will send fire on Judah,
|
|
\q and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem."

|
|
\v 6 This is what Yahweh says:
|
|
\q "For three sins of Israel,
|
|
\q even for four,
|
|
\q I will not turn away punishment,
|
|
\q because they sold the innocent for silver
|
|
\q and the needy for a pair of sandals.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground;
|
|
\q they push the oppressed away.
|
|
\q A man and his father sleep with the same girl
|
|
\q and so profane my holy name.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges,
|
|
\q and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
|
|
\q whose height was like the height of cedars;
|
|
\q he was strong as the oaks.
|
|
\q Yet I destroyed his fruit above
|
|
\q and his roots below.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt
|
|
\q and led you forty years in the wilderness
|
|
\q to possess the land of the Amorites.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I raised up prophets from among your sons
|
|
\q and Nazirites from your young men.
|
|
\q Is it not so,
|
|
\q people of Israel?
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine
|
|
\q and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Look, I will crush you
|
|
\q as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 The swift person will find no escape;
|
|
\q the strong will not add to his own strength;
|
|
\q neither will the mighty save himself.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 The archer will not stand;
|
|
\q the fast runner will not escape;
|
|
\q the horseman will not save himself.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 Even the bravest warriors
|
|
\q will flee naked in that day
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration."
