* Thus saith the LORD ; For three transgressions of Moab Mow #ab #, and for four , I will not turn away the punishment thereof ; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime : * But I will send a fire upon Moab Mow #ab #, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth : and Moab shall die with tumult sha #own #, with shouting t @ruw #ah #, and with the sound of the trumpet : * And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof , and will slay all the princes thereof with him , saith the LORD . * Thus saith the LORD ; For three transgressions of Judah , and for four , I will not turn away the punishment thereof ; because they have despised the law of the LORD , and have not kept his commandments , and their lies caused them to err , after the which their fathers have walked : * But I will send a fire upon Judah , and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem . * Thus saith the LORD ; For three transgressions of Israel Yisra #el #, and for four , I will not turn away the punishment thereof ; because they sold the righteous for silver , and the poor for a pair of shoes na #al #; * That 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 will go in unto the same maid na #arah #, to profane my holy name : * And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar , and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god . * Yet destroyed I 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 ma #al #, and his roots from beneath . * Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt , and led you forty #arba #iym # years through the wilderness , to possess the land of the Amorite . * And I raised up of your sons for prophets , and of your young men for Nazarites . Is it not even thus , O ye children of Israel Yisra #el #? saith the LORD . * But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink ; and commanded the prophets , saying , Prophesy not . * Behold , I am pressed under you , as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves . * Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift , and the strong shall not strengthen his force , neither shall the mighty deliver himself : * Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow ; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself : neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself . * And he that is courageous #H3820among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day , saith the LORD .
