30:001:014 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall
devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of
battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
30:001:015 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes
together, saith the LORD.
30:002:001 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he
burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
30:002:002 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the
palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with
shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
30:002:003 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will
slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
30:002:004 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:
30:002:005 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the
palaces of Jerusalem.
30:002:006 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;
30:002:007 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:
30:002:008 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 god.
30:002:009 Yet destroyed I the Amorite 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.
30:002:010 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you
forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the
Amorite.
30:002:011 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young
men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of
Israel? saith the LORD.
30:002:012 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the
prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
30:002:013 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is
full of sheaves.
30:002:014 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the
strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the
mighty deliver himself:
