Chapter 2

1

THUS says Yahuah; For three transgressions of Mo'av, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

2

But I will send a fire upon Mo'av, and it shall devour the palaces of Qeriyoth: and Mo'av shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar:

3

And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, says Yahuah.

4

Thus says Yahuah; For three transgressions of Yahudah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the Torah of Yahuah, and have not guarded his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

5

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

6

Thus says Yahuah; For three transgressions of Yashar'el, 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;

7

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:

8

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 elohiym.

9

Yet destroyed I the Emoriy 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 Mitsrayim, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Emoriy.

11

And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Naziyriym. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Yashar'el? says Yahuah.

12

But ye gave the Naziyriym 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 handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself.

16

And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says Yahuah.
