Judgment on Moab
Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of 1aMoab and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because he bburned the bones of the king of Edom Esau’s descendant into lime and used it to plaster a Moabite house.2 “So I will send a fire of war, conquest, and destruction upon MoabAnd it shall devour the strongholds of aKerioth;And Moab shall die amid btumult and uproar,With war cries and shouts of alarm and the sound of the trumpet.3 “I will also cut off and destroy the aruler from its midstAnd slay all the bprinces with him,” says the LORD.
Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of aJudah and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because they have brejected the law of the LORD the sum of God’s instruction to His peopleAnd have not kept His commandments;But their clies and their idols, after which their dfathers walked,Caused them to go astray.5 “So I will send a afire of war, conquest, and destruction by the Babylonians upon JudahAnd it will devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of aIsrael and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because they bsell the righteous and innocent for silverAnd the needy for the price of a pair of sandals.7 “These who pant after (long to see) the dust of the earth on the head of the ahelpless as sign of their grief and distressAlso bturn aside the way of the humble;And a cman and his father will go to the same 1girlSo that My holy name is profaned.8 “They stretch out beside aevery pagan altar on clothes btaken in pledge to secure a loan, disregarding God’s command,And in the house of their God in contempt of Him they frivolously cdrink the wine which has been taken from those who have been fined. Ex 22:26; Deut 24:12, 13
9 “Yet it was I not the false gods who destroyed the aAmorite before them,Though his bheight was like the height of the cedars,And he was as strong as the oaks;I even destroyed his cfruit above and his root below.10 “Also it was I who abrought you up out of the land of Egypt,And I led you bforty years through the wildernessThat you might possess the land of the cAmorite.11 “Then I araised up some of your sons to be prophets who gave you My revelation,And some of your young men to be bNazirites (dedicated ones) .Is this not true, O you children of Israel?” says the LORD. Num 6:1-812 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink despite their vowsAnd commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You ashall not prophesy!’13 “Behold, I am aweighted down beneath youAs a cart that is weighted down when it is full of sheaves.14 “aFlight will be lost to the swift so they will be unable to escape,And the strong shall not strengthen nor maintain his power,Nor shall the bmighty man save his own life.15 “He who ahandles the bow will not stand his ground,The one who is swift of foot will not escape,Nor will he who rides the bhorse save his life from the invading army.16 “Even the bravest among the warriors shall aflee naked on that day,” says the LORD.
