# Chapter 2
|
|
1. Thus says the LORD:
|
|
"For three transgressions of Moab,
|
|
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
|
|
because he burned to lime
|
|
the bones of the king of Edom.
|
|
|
|
2. So I will send a fire upon Moab,
|
|
and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth,
|
|
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
|
|
amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
|
|
|
|
3. I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
|
|
and will kill 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 revoke the punishment,
|
|
because they have rejected the law of the LORD,
|
|
and have not kept his statutes,
|
|
but their lies have led them astray,
|
|
those after which their fathers walked.
|
|
|
|
5. So I will send a fire upon Judah,
|
|
|
|
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem."
|
|
Judgment on Israel
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Thus says the LORD:
|
|
"For three transgressions of Israel,
|
|
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
|
|
because they sell the righteous for silver,
|
|
and the needy for a pair of sandals--
|
|
|
|
7. those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
|
|
and turn aside the way of the afflicted;
|
|
a man and his father go in to the same girl,
|
|
so that my holy name is profaned;
|
|
|
|
8. they lay themselves down beside every altar
|
|
on garments taken in pledge,
|
|
and in the house of their God they drink
|
|
the wine of those who have been fined.
|
|
|
|
9. "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
|
|
whose height was like the height of the cedars
|
|
and who was as strong as the oaks;
|
|
I destroyed his fruit above
|
|
and his roots beneath.
|
|
|
|
10. Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
|
|
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
|
|
to possess the land of the Amorite.
|
|
|
|
11. And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
|
|
and some of your young men for Nazirites.
|
|
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?"
|
|
declares the LORD.
|
|
|
|
12. "But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
|
|
and commanded the prophets,
|
|
saying, 'You shall not prophesy.'
|
|
|
|
13. "Behold, I will press you down in your place,
|
|
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
|
|
|
|
14. Flight shall perish from the swift,
|
|
and the strong shall not retain his strength,
|
|
nor shall the mighty save his life;
|
|
|
|
15. he who handles the bow shall not stand,
|
|
and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself,
|
|
nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
|
|
|
|
16. and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
|
|
shall flee away naked in that day,"
|
|
declares the LORD.
