# 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.
|
||
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.”
|
||
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. |
