Judgment on Israel
|
|
|
|
##### 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.Judgment on Judah
|
|
|
|
###### 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."Judgment on Israel
|
|
|
|
###### 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.
