- Kapitel 2 -

1
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Moab, || And for four, I do not reverse it, || Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,
2
And I have sent a fire against Moab, || And it has consumed the palaces of Kerioth, || And Moab is dying with noise, || With shouting, with voice of a horn.
3
And I have cut off judge from her midst, || And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.
4
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Judah, || And for four, I do not reverse it, || Because of their loathing the Law of YHWH, || And His statutes they have not kept, || And their lies cause them to err, || After which their fathers walked,
5
And I have sent a fire against Judah, || And it has consumed palaces of Jerusalem.”
6
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Israel, || And for four, I do not reverse it, || Because of their selling the righteous for silver, || And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7
Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, || And the way of the humble they turn aside, || And a man and his father go to the girl, || So as to defile My holy Name.
8
And they stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, || And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
9
And I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, || Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, || And he [is] strong as the oaks, || And I destroy his fruit from above, || And his roots from beneath.
10
And I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, || And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, || To possess the land of the Amorite.
11
And I raise of your sons for prophets, || And of your choice ones for Nazarites, || Is this not true, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH.
12
“And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, || And on the prophets you have laid a charge, || Saying, Do not prophesy!
13
Behold, I am pressing you under, || As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.
14
And refuge has perished from the swift, || And the strong does not strengthens his power, || And the mighty does not deliver his soul.
15
And the handler of the bow does not stand, || And the swift does not deliver [himself] with his feet, || And the rider of the horse does not deliver his soul.
16
And the courageous of heart among the mighty, || Flees naked in that day,” || A declaration of YHWH!

1
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3
and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
4
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
5
but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7
They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8
They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God(a) they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9
Yet I destroyed 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 out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
12
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13
Behold,(b) I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14
Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15
He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16
He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
