Thus
saith the
LORD; For
three transgressions of
Moab, 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, and it shall
devour the
palaces of
Kerioth: and
Moab shall
die with
tumult, with
shouting, 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,

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:

Thus
saith the
LORD; For
three transgressions of
Israel, 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;

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, to
profane my
holy name:

And they lay themselves
down upon
clothes laid to

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, and his
roots from beneath.

Also I brought you
up from the

And I raised

Therefore the
flight shall
perish from the
swift, and the
strong shall not
strengthen his
