| 2:1 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; For three <07969> transgressions <06588> of Moab <04124>, and for four <0702>, I will not turn away <07725> (8686) [the punishment] thereof; because he burned <08313> (8800) the bones <06106> of the king <04428> of Edom <0123> into lime <07875>: |
| 2:2 | But I will send <07971> (8765) a fire <0784> upon Moab <04124>, and it shall devour <0398> (8804) the palaces <0759> of Kerioth <07152>: and Moab <04124> shall die <04191> (8804) with tumult <07588>, with shouting <08643>, [and] with the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>: |
| 2:3 | And I will cut off <03772> (8689) the judge <08199> (8802) from the midst <07130> thereof, and will slay <02026> (8799) all the princes <08269> thereof with him, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>. |
| 2:4 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; For three <07969> transgressions <06588> of Judah <03063>, and for four <0702>, I will not turn away <07725> (8686) [the punishment] thereof; because they have despised <03988> (8800) the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>, and have not kept <08104> (8804) his commandments <02706>, and their lies <03577> caused them to err <08582> (8686), after <0310> the which their fathers <01> have walked <01980> (8804): |
| 2:5 | But I will send <07971> (8765) a fire <0784> upon Judah <03063>, and it shall devour <0398> (8804) the palaces <0759> of Jerusalem <03389>. |
| 2:6 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; For three <07969> transgressions <06588> of Israel <03478>, and for four <0702>, I will not turn away <07725> (8686) [the punishment] thereof; because they sold <04376> (8800) the righteous <06662> for silver <03701>, and the poor <034> for a pair of shoes <05275>; |
| 2:7 | That pant <07602> (8802) after the dust <06083> of the earth <0776> on the head <07218> of the poor <01800>, and turn aside <05186> (8686) the way <01870> of the meek <06035>: and a man <0376> and his father <01> will go <03212> (8799) in unto the [same] maid <05291>, to profane <02490> (8763) my holy <06944> name <08034>: {maid: or, young woman} |
| 2:8 | And they lay [themselves] down <05186> (8686) upon clothes <0899> laid to pledge <02254> (8803) by <0681> every altar <04196>, and they drink <08354> (8799) the wine <03196> of the condemned <06064> (8803) [in] the house <01004> of their god <0430>. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted} |
| 2:9 | Yet destroyed <08045> (8689) I the Amorite <0567> before <06440> them, whose height <01363> [was] like the height <01363> of the cedars <0730>, and he [was] strong <02634> as the oaks <0437>; yet I destroyed <08045> (8686) his fruit <06529> from above <04605>, and his roots <08328> from beneath. |
| 2:10 | Also I brought you up <05927> (8689) from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and led <03212> (8686) you forty <0705> years <08141> through the wilderness <04057>, to possess <03423> (8800) the land <0776> of the Amorite <0567>. |
| 2:11 | And I raised up <06965> (8686) of your sons <01121> for prophets <05030>, and of your young men <0970> for Nazarites <05139>. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children <01121> of Israel <03478>? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 2:12 | But ye gave the Nazarites <05139> wine <03196> to drink <08248> (8686); and commanded <06680> (8765) the prophets <05030>, saying <0559> (8800), Prophesy <05012> (8735) not. |
| 2:13 | Behold, I am pressed <05781> (8688) under you, as a cart <05699> is pressed <05781> (8686) [that is] full <04392> of sheaves <05995>. {I am...: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth} |
| 2:14 | Therefore the flight <04498> shall perish <06> (8804) from the swift <07031>, and the strong <02389> shall not strengthen <0553> (8762) his force <03581>, neither shall the mighty <01368> deliver <04422> (8762) himself <05315>: {himself: Heb. his soul, or, life} |
| 2:15 | Neither shall he stand <05975> (8799) that handleth <08610> (8802) the bow <07198>; and [he that is] swift <07031> of foot <07272> shall not deliver <04422> (8762) [himself]: neither shall he that rideth <07392> (8802) the horse <05483> deliver <04422> (8762) himself <05315>. |
| 2:16 | And [he that is] courageous <0533> <03820> among the mighty <01368> shall flee away <05127> (8799) naked <06174> in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. {courageous: Heb. strong of his heart} |
