# Chapter 2
|
||
1 Thus says the Lord:
|
||
“For three transgressions of Moab, and for four,
|
||
I will not turn away its punishment,
|
||
Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
|
||
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab,
|
||
And it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth;
|
||
Moab shall die with tumult,
|
||
With shouting and trumpet sound.
|
||
3 And I will cut off the judge from its midst,
|
||
And slay all its princes with him,”
|
||
Says the Lord.
|
||
4 Thus says the Lord:
|
||
“For three transgressions of Judah, and for four,
|
||
I will not turn away its punishment,
|
||
Because they have despised the law of the Lord,
|
||
And have not kept His commandments.
|
||
Their lies lead them astray,
|
||
Lies which their fathers followed.
|
||
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah,
|
||
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
|
||
6 Thus says the Lord:
|
||
“For three transgressions of Israel, and for four,
|
||
I will not turn away its punishment,
|
||
Because they sell the righteous for silver,
|
||
And the poor for a pair of sandals.
|
||
7 They pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
|
||
And pervert the way of the humble.
|
||
A man and his father go in to the same girl,
|
||
To defile My holy name.
|
||
8 They lie down by every altar on clothes taken in pledge,
|
||
And drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
|
||
9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
|
||
Whose height was like the height of the cedars,
|
||
And he was as strong as the oaks;
|
||
Yet I destroyed his fruit above
|
||
And his roots beneath.
|
||
10 Also it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
|
||
And led you forty years through the wilderness,
|
||
To possess the land of the Amorite.
|
||
11 I raised up some of your sons as prophets,
|
||
And some of your young men as Nazirites.
|
||
Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”
|
||
Says the Lord.
|
||
12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
|
||
And commanded the prophets saying,
|
||
‘Do not prophesy!’
|
||
13 “Behold, I am weighed down by you,
|
||
As a cart full of sheaves is weighed down.
|
||
14 Therefore flight shall perish from the swift,
|
||
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
|
||
Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;
|
||
15 He shall not stand who handles the bow,
|
||
The swift of foot shall not escape,
|
||
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
|
||
16 The most courageous men of might
|
||
Shall flee naked in that day,”
|
||
Says the Lord. |
