Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, Is. 15.1--16.14 ; 25.10-12 · Jer. 48.1-47 · Ezek. 25.8-11 · 2.8-11 and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kir'i-oth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
¶ 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:
¶ 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, to profane my holy name:
¶ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, Deut. 3.8-11 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.
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Num. 6.1-8Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
