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,
