* Thus says Jehovah : For three transgressions of Moab , and for four , I will not turn back from punishing it , for he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime . * But I will send a fire against Moab , which shall devour the palaces of Kerioth . And Moab shall die with uproar , with a war cry , and with the sound of the shofar . * And I will cut off the judge in its midst , and will kill all its rulers with him , says Jehovah . * Thus says Jehovah : For three transgressions of Judah , and for four , I will not turn back from punishing it ; for they despised the Law of Jehovah , and they have not kept His statutes . And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray . * And I will send a fire against Judah , which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem . * Thus says Jehovah : For three transgressions of Israel , and for four , I will not turn back from punishing it , for they sold the righteous for silver , and the poor for a pair of sandals . * They pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the helpless , and thrust aside the way of the afflicted . And a man and his father go in to the same girl , in order to profane My holy name . * And they lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge , and drink the wine of those being punished in the house of their God . * Yet I 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 from above and his roots from beneath . * Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you in the wilderness forty years , to possess the land of the Amorite . * And I raised up some of your sons for prophets , and some of your young men for Nazirites . Is this not even so , O sons of Israel ? declares Jehovah . * But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink , and you commanded the prophets , saying , Do not prophesy . * Behold , I am pressed under you , as a cart full of sheaves is pressed . * Therefore flight shall perish from the swift , and the strong shall not strengthen his power , nor shall the mighty deliver his life , * and he who handles the bow shall not stand , and the swift of foot shall not escape , nor shall the one riding a horse deliver his soul . * And the strong of heart among the mighty shall flee naked in that day , declares Jehovah .
