1ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its sentence; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875. 2And I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of Kerijoth; and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumult, with shoutingH8643, [and] with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. 3And I will cutH3772 off the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saith Jehovah. 4ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its sentence; because they have despised the lawH8451 of Jehovah, and have not keptH8104 his statutesH2706; and their liesH3577 have caused them to errH8582, after which their fathersH1 walkedH1980. 5And I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of JerusalemH3389. 6ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its sentence; because they have soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoes; 7panting after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turningH5186 asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meek; and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will go in unto the [same] maid, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034. 8And they lay [themselves] downH5186 by every altarH4196 upon clothesH899 taken in pledge, and they drinkH8354 [in] the houseH1004 of their 1GodH430 the wineH3196 of the condemned. 9But I destroyedH8045 the AmoriteH567 before them, whose heightH1363 was as the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; but I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from above, and his rootsH8328 from beneath. 10And I broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and led you fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567. 11And I raisedH6965 up of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your youngH1121 menH970 for Nazarites. Is it not evenH637 thus, ye children of IsraelH3478? saith Jehovah. 12And ye gave the Nazarites wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not. 13Behold, I will press upon you, as a cartH5699 presseth that is fullH4395 of sheaves. 14And flight shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his force, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 his soulH5315. 15Neither shall he standH5975 that handleth the bowH7198; and the swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall not escapeH4422, and he that rideth the horseH5483 shall not deliverH4422 his soulH5315; 16and he that is stout-hearted among the mightyH1368 shall fleeH5127 away nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah.
