Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Moab, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has burned the bones of the king of Idumea, all the way to ashes.

2 And I will send forth a fire on Moab and it will consume [the] fortresses of Kerioth and it will die in uproar Moab with a shout of alarm with [the] sound of a trumpet.

And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare of a trumpet.

5 And I will send forth a fire on Judah and it will consume [the] fortresses of Jerusalem.

And I will send a fire onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.

6 Thus he says Yahweh on three transgressions of Israel and on four not I will revoke it because sold they for silver [the] righteous and [the] needy for sake of a pair of sandals.

Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.

7 Those [who] trample on [the] dust of [the] earth on [the] head of poor [people] and [the] way of humble [people] they turn aside and a man and father his they go into the young woman so as to profane [the] name of holiness my.

They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage my holy name.

8 And on garments taken in pledge they stretch out beside every altar and [the] wine of fines they drink [the] house of god their.

It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.

11 And I raised up some of sons your to prophets and some of young men your to Nazirites ¿ also not [is] this O people of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh.

And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, sons of Israel, says the Lord?

12 And you made drink the Nazirites wine and to the prophets you commanded saying not you must prophesy.

Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”

13 Here! I [am] about to make totter under you just as it totters the cart full itself cut grain.

Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.

14 And it will be lost a place of escape from a swift [person] and a strong [person] not he will make firm power his and a mighty [person] not he will save life his.

And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will not save his life.

16 And [the] [person] strong of heart his among the warriors naked he will flee on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh.

And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
