A word to Moab

¹The LORD proclaims:

For three crimes of Moab,

because he burned to lime

²So I will send down a fire on Moab;

Moab will die in a great uproar,

³I will remove their judge from them

A word to Judah

⁴The LORD proclaims:

For three crimes of Judah,

because they have rejected the Instruction of the LORD ,

They have been led off the right path by the same lies

⁵So I will send a fire on Judah,

A word to Israel

⁶The LORD proclaims:

For three crimes of Israel,

because they have sold the innocent for silver,

⁷They crush the head of the poor into the dust of the earth,

Father and son have intercourse with the same young woman,

⁸They stretch out beside every altar

in the house of their god they drink

⁹Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,

I destroyed his fruit above

¹⁰Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

¹¹I raised up some of your children to be prophets

Isn’t this so, people of Israel?

¹²But you made the nazirites drink wine,

¹³So now I will oppress you,

¹⁴Fast runners will find no refuge;

the strong will lose their strength;

the mighty will be unable to save their lives.

¹⁵Those who shoot the bow won’t survive.

¹⁶The bravest warrior

will flee away naked in that day,
