# Chapter 2
|
|
1.
|
|
The Lord says:
|
|
I will not relent from punishing Moab
|
|
for three crimes, even four,
|
|
because he burned the bones
|
|
of the king of Edom to lime.
|
|
|
|
2. Therefore, I will send fire against Moab,
|
|
and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth.
|
|
Moab will die with a tumult,
|
|
with shouting and the sound of the ram's horn.
|
|
|
|
3. I will cut off the judge from the land
|
|
and kill all its officials with him.
|
|
|
|
The Lord has spoken.
|
|
|
|
Judgment on Judah
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
|
The Lord says:
|
|
I will not relent from punishing Judah
|
|
for three crimes, even four,
|
|
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord
|
|
and have not kept his statutes.
|
|
The lies that their ancestors followed
|
|
have led them astray.
|
|
|
|
5. Therefore, I will send fire against Judah,
|
|
and it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
Judgment on Israel
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.
|
|
The Lord says:
|
|
I will not relent from punishing Israel
|
|
for three crimes, even four,
|
|
because they sell a righteous person for silver
|
|
and a needy person for a pair of sandals.
|
|
|
|
7. They trample the heads of the poor
|
|
on the dust of the ground
|
|
and obstruct the path of the needy.
|
|
|
|
A man and his father have sexual relations
|
|
with the same girl,
|
|
profaning my holy name.
|
|
|
|
8. They stretch out beside every altar
|
|
on garments taken as collateral,
|
|
and in the house of their God
|
|
they drink wine obtained through fines.
|
|
|
|
9. Yet I destroyed the Amorite as Israel advanced;
|
|
his height was like the cedars,
|
|
and he was as sturdy as the oaks;
|
|
I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.
|
|
|
|
10. And I brought you from the land of Egypt
|
|
and led you forty years in the wilderness
|
|
in order 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 this not the case, Israelites?
|
|
This is the Lord's declaration.
|
|
|
|
12. But you made the Nazirites drink wine
|
|
and commanded the prophets,
|
|
"Do not prophesy."
|
|
|
|
13. Look, I am about to crush you in your place
|
|
as a wagon crushes when full of grain.
|
|
|
|
14. Escape will fail the swift,
|
|
the strong one will not maintain his strength,
|
|
and the warrior will not save his life.
|
|
|
|
15. The archer will not stand his ground,
|
|
the one who is swift of foot
|
|
will not save himself,
|
|
and the one riding a horse will not save his life.
|
|
|
|
16. Even the most courageous of the warriors
|
|
will flee naked on that day--
|
|
this is the Lord's declaration.
