## Text

[1] This is what the LORD says:
“For three transgressions of Moab, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment,
because he burned to lime
the bones of Edom’s king. [2] So I will send fire against Moab
to consume the citadels of Kerioth.
Moab will die in tumult,
amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn. [3] I will cut off the ruler of Moab
and kill all the officials with him,”
says the LORD. [4] This is what the LORD says:
“For three transgressions of Judah, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment,
because they reject the Law of the LORD
and fail to keep His statutes;
they are led astray by the lies
in which their fathers walked. [5] So I will send fire upon Judah
to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.” [6] This is what the LORD says:
“For three transgressions of Israel, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment,
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals. [7] They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the earth;
they push the needy out of their way.
A man and his father
have relations with the same girl
and so profane My holy name. [8] They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.
And in the house of their God,
they drink wine obtained through fines. [9] Yet it was I who destroyed
the Amorite before them,
though his height was like that of the cedars,
and he was as strong as the oaks.
Yet I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots below. [10] And I brought you up from the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
that you might take possession
of the land of the Amorite. [11] I raised up prophets from your sons
and Nazirites from your young men.
Is this not true,
O children of Israel?”
declares the LORD. [12] “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy. [13] Behold, I am about to crush you in your place
as with a cart full of grain. [14] Escape will fail the swift,
the strong will not prevail by his strength,
and the mighty will not save his life. [15] The archer will not stand his ground,
the fleet of foot will not escape,
and the horseman will not save his life. [16] Even the bravest of mighty men
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the LORD.
