* Thus says Yahweh : For three transgressions of Moab , yes , for four , I will not turn away its punishment ; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime : * but I will send a fire on Moab , and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth ; and Moab will die with tumult , with shouting , and with the sound of the trumpet ; * and I will cut off the judge from the midst of it , and will slay all its princes with him , says Yahweh . * Thus says Yahweh : For three transgressions of Judah , yes , for four , I will not turn away its punishment ; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh , and have not kept his statutes , and their lies have caused them to err , after which their fathers walked : * but I will send a fire on Judah , and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem . * Thus says Yahweh : For three transgressions of Israel , yes , for four , I will not turn away its punishment ; because they have sold the righteous for silver , and the needy for a pair of sandals -- * those who pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor , and turn aside the way of the meek : and a man and his father go to the [same ] maiden , to profane my holy name : * and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge ; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined . * Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them , whose height was like the height of the cedars , and he was strong as the oaks ; yet I destroyed his fruit from above , and his roots from beneath . * Also I brought you (note :){+}(:note ) up out of the land of Egypt , and led you {+} forty years in the wilderness , to possess the land of the Amorite . * And I raised up of your (note :){+}(:note ) sons for prophets , and of your {+} young men for Nazirites . Is it not even thus , O you {+} sons of Israel ? says Yahweh . * But you (note :){+}(:note ) gave the Nazirites wine to drink , and commanded the prophets , saying , Don 't prophesy . * Look , I will press [you (note :){+}(:note )] in your {+} place , as a cart presses that is full of sheaves . * And flight will perish from the swift ; and the strong will not strengthen his force ; neither will the mighty deliver himself ; * neither will he stand that handles the bow ; and he who is swift of foot will not deliver [himself ]; neither will he who rides the horse deliver himself ; * and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked in that day , says Yahweh .
