—摩押

耶和华如此说:
摩押三番四次犯罪,
以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰,
我必不撤销对它的惩罚。
我要降火在摩押
吞灭加略的宫殿,
摩押必在闹哄、呐喊、吹角声中灭亡;
我要剪除摩押的领袖,
把所有的官长和他一同杀戮。”
这是耶和华说的。

—犹大

耶和华如此说:
犹大三番四次犯罪,
厌弃耶和华的训诲,
不遵守他的律例;
他们祖先所随从虚假的偶像[a]使他们走迷了,
我必不撤销对它的惩罚。
我要降火在犹大
吞灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。”

 神审判以色列

耶和华如此说:
以色列三番四次犯罪,
为银子卖了义人,
为一双鞋卖了穷人,
我必不撤销对它的惩罚。
他们把贫寒人的头践踏在地的尘土上[b]
又阻碍困苦人的道路。
父子与同一个女子行淫,
以致亵渎我的圣名。
他们在各祭坛旁边,
躺卧在人所典当的衣服上,
又在他们 神的殿里[c]喝受罚之人的酒。

“我从他们面前除灭亚摩利人;
他虽高大如香柏树,强壮如橡树,
我却上灭其果,下绝其根。
10 我曾将你们从埃及地领上来,
在旷野里引导你们四十年,
使你们得亚摩利人之地为业;
11 我从你们子孙中兴起先知,
又从你们少年中兴起拿细耳人。
以色列人哪,不是这样吗?”
这是耶和华说的。

12 “你们却把酒给拿细耳人喝,
嘱咐先知说:‘不要说预言。’

13 “看哪,我要把你们压下去,
如同装满禾捆的车压过一样。
14 快跑的无从避难,
壮士无法使力,
勇士也不能自救;
15 拿弓的站立不住,
腿快的不能逃脱,
骑马的也不能自救。
16 到那日,勇士中最有胆量的,
必赤身逃跑。”
这是耶和华说的。

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 Kirioth: 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, 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, 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 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, and his roots from beneath.

10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

11 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? saith the Lord.

12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

15 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.

16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.

Thus says the Lord:

(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Moab,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because (C)he burned to lime
    the bones of the king of Edom.
So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of (D)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
(E)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will kill (F)all its princes[b] with him,”
says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:

(G)“For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (H)they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept his statutes,
but (I)their lies have led them astray,
    those after which their fathers walked.
So (J)I will send a fire upon Judah,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

Thus says the Lord:

(K)“For three transgressions of Israel,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (L)they sell the righteous for (M)silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals—
those who trample the head of the poor (N)into the dust of the earth
    and (O)turn aside the way of the afflicted;
(P)a man and his father go in to the same girl,
    so that my holy name is profaned;
they lay themselves down beside every altar
    on garments (Q)taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
    the wine of those who have been fined.

“Yet (R)it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
    (S)whose height was like the height of the cedars
    and who was as strong as the oaks;
(T)I destroyed his fruit above
    and his roots beneath.
10 (U)Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
    (V)and led you forty years in the wilderness,
    (W)to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
    and some of your young men for (X)Nazirites.
    Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.

12 “But you made the Nazirites (Y)drink wine,
    and commanded the prophets,
    saying, (Z)‘You shall not prophesy.’

13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
    as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 (AA)Flight shall perish from the swift,
    (AB)and the strong shall not retain his strength,
    (AC)nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
    and he who is (AD)swift of foot shall not save himself,
    (AE)nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
    shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord.
