1
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Mo'av, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2
But I will send a fire on Mo'av, And it will devour the palaces of Keriyot; And Mo'av will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar;
3
And I will cut off the judge from their midst, And will kill all its princes with him," says the LORD.
4
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Yehudah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD, And have not kept his statutes, And their lies have led them astray, After which their fathers walked;
5
But I will send a fire on Yehudah, And it will devour the palaces of Yerushalayim."
6
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Yisra'el, 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 shoes;
7
They trample on the dust of the eretz on the head of the poor, And deny justice to the oppressed; And a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
8
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 those who have been fined.
9
Yet I destroyed the Amori 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.
10
Also I brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim, And led you forty years in the wilderness, To possess the land of the Amori.
