1 Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of aMoab and for four
I will not 1revoke its punishment,
Because he bburned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 “So I will send fire upon Moab
And it will consume the citadels of aKerioth;
And Moab will die amid btumult,
With 1war cries and the sound of a trumpet.
3 “I will also cut off the 1ajudge from her midst
And slay all her bprinces with him,” says the Lord.
“For three transgressions of aJudah and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they brejected the law of the Lord
And have not kept His statutes;
Their 1clies also have led them astray,
Those after which their dfathers walked.
5 “So I will asend fire upon Judah
And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
“For three transgressions of aIsrael and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they bsell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 “These who 1pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the ahelpless
Also bturn aside the way of the humble;
And a cman and his father 2resort to the same 3girl
In order to profane My holy name.
8 “On garments ataken as pledges they stretch out beside bevery altar,
And in the house of their God they cdrink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the aAmorite before them,
1Though his bheight was like the height of cedars
And he was strong as the oaks;
I even destroyed his cfruit above and his root below.
10 “It was I who abrought you up from the land of Egypt,
And I led you in the wilderness bforty years
1That you might take possession of the land of the cAmorite.
11 “Then I araised up some of your sons to be prophets
And some of your young men to be bNazirites.
Is this not so, O sons of Israel?” declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
And you commanded the prophets saying, ‘You ashall not prophesy!’
13 “Behold, I am 1aweighted down beneath you
As a wagon 2is weighted down when filled with sheaves.
14 “1aFlight will perish from the swift,
And the stalwart will not strengthen his power,
Nor the bmighty man save his 2life.
15 “He who agrasps the bow will not stand his ground,
The swift of foot will not escape,
Nor will he who rides the bhorse save his 1life.
16 “Even the 1bravest among the warriors will aflee naked in that day,” declares the Lord.
1 Hear this word which the Lord has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire 1afamily which 2He brought up from the land of Egypt:
2 “aYou only have I 1chosen among all the families of the earth;
Therefore I will 2bpunish you for all your iniquities.”
3 Do two men walk together unless they have made an 1appointment?
4 Does a alion roar in the forest when he has no prey?
Does a young lion 1growl from his den unless he has captured something?
5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no 1bait in it?
Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?
6 If a atrumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble?
If a bcalamity occurs in a city has not the Lord done it?
7 1Surely the Lord 2God does nothing
Unless He areveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.
8 A alion has roared! Who will not fear?
The bLord 1God has spoken! cWho can but prophesy?
9 Proclaim on the citadels in aAshdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, “Assemble yourselves on the bmountains of Samaria and see the great tumults within her and the coppressions in her midst.
10 “But they ado not know how to do what is right,” declares the Lord, “these who bhoard up 1violence and devastation in their citadels.”
11 Therefore, thus says the Lord God,
“An aenemy, even one surrounding the land,
Will pull down your 1strength from you
And your bcitadels will be looted.”
“Just as the shepherd 1asnatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be 2snatched away—
With the bcorner of a bed and the 3ccover of a couch!
13 “Hear and atestify against the house of Jacob,”
Declares the Lord God, the God of hosts.
14 “For on the day that I punish Israel’s transgressions,
I will also punish the altars of aBethel;
The horns of the altar will be cut off
And they will fall to the ground.
15 “I will also smite the 1awinter house together with the bsummer house;
The houses of 2civory will also perish
And the dgreat houses will come to an end,”
Declares the Lord.
“Yet You Have Not Returned to Me”
1 Hear this word, you cows of aBashan who are on the bmountain of Samaria,
Who coppress the poor, who crush the needy,
Who say to 1your husbands, “Bring now, that we may ddrink!”
2 The Lord 1God has asworn by His bholiness,
“Behold, the days are coming upon you
When 2they will take you away with cmeat hooks,
And the last of you with dfish hooks.
3 “You will ago out through breaches in the walls,
Each one straight before her,
And you 1will be cast to Harmon,” declares the Lord.
4 “Enter Bethel and transgress;
In Gilgal multiply transgression!
aBring your sacrifices every morning,
Your tithes every three days.
5 “1Offer a athank offering also from that which is leavened,
And proclaim bfreewill offerings, make them known.
For so you clove to do, you sons of Israel,”
Declares the Lord God.
6 “But I gave you also acleanness of teeth in all your cities
And lack of bread in all your places,
Yet you have bnot returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
7 “Furthermore, I awithheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city
And on banother city I would not send rain;
One part would be rained on,
While the part not rained on would dry up.
8 “So two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink awater,
But would bnot be satisfied;
Yet you have cnot returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
9 “I asmote you with scorching wind and mildew;
And the bcaterpillar was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees;
Yet you have cnot returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
10 “I sent a aplague among you after the manner of Egypt;
I bslew your young men by the sword along with your ccaptured horses,
And I made the dstench of your camp rise up in your nostrils;
Yet you have enot returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew you, as aGod overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a bfirebrand snatched from a blaze;
Yet you have cnot returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
Prepare to ameet your God, O Israel.”
13 For behold, He who aforms mountains and bcreates the wind
And cdeclares to man what are His thoughts,
He who dmakes dawn into darkness
And etreads on the high places of the earth,
fThe Lord God of hosts is His name.
