Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of Mo᾽av, I will turn away its punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

but I will send a fire upon Mo᾽av, and it shall devour the palaces of Qeriyyot: and Mo᾽av shall die amidst tumult, shouting, and the sound of the shofar:

and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will slay all his princes with him, says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of Yehuda, I will turn away his punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away his punishment; because they have despised the Tora of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies, after which their fathers have walked, have led them astray:

but I will send a fire upon Yehuda, and it shall devour the palaces of Yerushalayim.

Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of Yisra᾽el, I will turn away his punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away his punishment; 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 humble: and a man and his father will go in to the same girl, to profane my holy name:

and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

Yet I destroyed the Emori 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 out of the land of Miżrayim, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Emori.

And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nezirim. Is it not even thus, O you children of Yisra᾽el? says the Lord.

But you gave the Nezirim wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart presses down that is full of sheaves.

So the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his force, nor shall the mighty man deliver himself:

nor shall he who handles the bow stand; and he who is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: nor shall he who rides the horse deliver himself.

And he who is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, says the Lord.
