1 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H3068" what|strong="H3541" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559": “I|strong="H3541" will|strong="H3068" definitely punish the|strong="H0559" people|strong="H3808" of|strong="H4428" Moab|strong="H4124" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" many crimes|strong="H6588" they|strong="H5921" did|strong="H3808". Moab|strong="H4124" burned|strong="H8313" the|strong="H0559" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H0559" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Edom|strong="H0123" into|strong="H5921" lime|strong="H7875".
2 So|strong="H7971" I|strong="H6963" will|strong="H0784" start a|strong="H7971" fire|strong="H0784" in|strong="H4191" Moab|strong="H4124" that|strong="H0784" will|strong="H0784" destroy|strong="H4191" the|strong="H0398" high towers|strong="H0759" of|strong="H6963" Kerioth|strong="H7152". There will|strong="H0784" be|strong="H4191" terrible shouting|strong="H8643" and|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0398" sounds|strong="H6963" of|strong="H6963" a|strong="H7971" trumpet|strong="H7782", and|strong="H0398" Moab|strong="H4124" will|strong="H0784" die|strong="H4191".
3 So I|strong="H3772" will|strong="H3068" bring an|strong="H3772" end to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" kings of|strong="H3068" Moab, and|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3772" will|strong="H3068" kill|strong="H2026" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" leaders|strong="H8269" of|strong="H3068" Moab.” This|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" what the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559".
4 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H0834" what|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559": “I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" definitely punish Judah|strong="H3063" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" many crimes|strong="H6588" they|strong="H0834" did|strong="H0834". They|strong="H0834" refused|strong="H3808" to|strong="H0559" obey|strong="H8104" the|strong="H0853" LORD’S|strong="H3068" teachings|strong="H8451" and|strong="H1980" they|strong="H0834" did|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" keep|strong="H8104" his|strong="H8104" commands|strong="H0559". Their|strong="H3068" ancestors|strong="H0001" believed lies|strong="H3577", and|strong="H1980" those|strong="H0834" same|strong="H0853" lies|strong="H3577" caused|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H0834" of|strong="H3068" Judah|strong="H3063" to|strong="H0559" stop|strong="H3808" following|strong="H0310" God|strong="H3068".
5 So|strong="H7971" I|strong="H7971" will|strong="H3063" start a|strong="H7971" fire|strong="H0784" in|strong="H0784" Judah|strong="H3063" that|strong="H0784" will|strong="H3063" destroy the|strong="H0398" high towers|strong="H0759" of|strong="H0398" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".”
6 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H3068" what|strong="H3541" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559": “I|strong="H3541" will|strong="H3068" definitely punish Israel|strong="H3478" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" many crimes|strong="H6588" they|strong="H5921" have|strong="H3068" done. They|strong="H5921" sold|strong="H4376" honest people|strong="H3808" for|strong="H5921" a|strong="H5921" little silver|strong="H3701". They|strong="H5921" sold|strong="H4376" the|strong="H0559" poor|strong="H0034" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" price|strong="H3701" of|strong="H3068" a|strong="H5921" pair of|strong="H3068" sandals|strong="H5275".
7 They|strong="H5921" pushed their|strong="H5921" faces|strong="H1870" into|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" ground|strong="H0776" and|strong="H0776" walked on|strong="H5921" them|strong="H0413". They|strong="H5921" stopped listening to|strong="H0413" suffering people|strong="H0376". Fathers|strong="H0001" and|strong="H0776" sons|strong="H0001" had|strong="H0001" sexual relations|strong="H0413" with|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" same|strong="H0853" woman|strong="H5291". They|strong="H5921" ruined my|strong="H5921" holy|strong="H6944" name|strong="H8034".
8 They|strong="H5921" took|strong="H5186" clothes|strong="H0899" from|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" poor, and|strong="H0430" then|strong="H3605" they|strong="H5921" sat on|strong="H5921" those|strong="H3605" clothes|strong="H0899" while|strong="H5921" worshiping at|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3605" altars|strong="H4196". They|strong="H5921" loaned money to|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" poor, and|strong="H0430" then|strong="H3605" they|strong="H5921" took|strong="H5186" their|strong="H3605" clothes|strong="H0899" as|strong="H1004" a|strong="H5921" promise for|strong="H5921" payment. They|strong="H5921" made|strong="H3605" people pay|strong="H5186" fines and|strong="H0430" used|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" money to|strong="H5921" buy wine|strong="H3196" for|strong="H5921" themselves|strong="H5921" to|strong="H5921" drink|strong="H8354" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" temple|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" their|strong="H3605" god|strong="H0430".
9 “But|strong="H0834" it|strong="H1931" was|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" who|strong="H0834" destroyed|strong="H8045" the|strong="H0853" Amorites|strong="H0567" before|strong="H6440" them|strong="H0853". They|strong="H0834" were|strong="H0834" as|strong="H0834" tall|strong="H1363" as|strong="H0834" cedar|strong="H0730" trees and|strong="H6440" as|strong="H0834" strong|strong="H2634" as|strong="H0834" oaks|strong="H0437", but|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" destroyed|strong="H8045" their|strong="H6440" fruit|strong="H6529" above|strong="H4605" and|strong="H6440" their|strong="H6440" roots|strong="H8328" below|strong="H8478".
10 “I|strong="H0595" was|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" one|strong="H0776" who|strong="H0567" brought|strong="H5927" you|strong="H0853" from|strong="H5927" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" of|strong="H0776" Egypt|strong="H4714". For|strong="H0776" 40 years|strong="H8141" I|strong="H0595" led you|strong="H0853" through|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" desert|strong="H4057". I|strong="H0595" helped you|strong="H0853" take|strong="H3423" the|strong="H0853" Amorites’ land|strong="H0776".
11 I|strong="H3068" made some of|strong="H1121" your|strong="H3068" sons|strong="H1121" to|strong="H0369" be|strong="H1121" prophets|strong="H5030" and|strong="H1121" some of|strong="H1121" your|strong="H3068" young|strong="H1121" men|strong="H0970" to|strong="H0369" be|strong="H1121" Nazirites|strong="H5139". People|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", it|strong="H3068" is|strong="H0369" true|strong="H3068".” This|strong="H2063" is|strong="H0369" what|strong="H2063" the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068" said.
12 “But|strong="H3808" you|strong="H6680" made|strong="H8248" the|strong="H0853" Nazirites|strong="H5139" drink|strong="H8248" wine|strong="H3196". You|strong="H6680" told|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0853" prophets|strong="H5030" not|strong="H3808" to|strong="H0559" prophesy|strong="H5012".
13 You|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" become more than I|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834" bear. I|strong="H0834" am|strong="H0595" bent low like|strong="H0834" a|strong="H0834" wagon|strong="H5699" loaded with|strong="H0834" grain.
14 No|strong="H3808" one|strong="H3808" will|strong="H5315" escape|strong="H4422", not|strong="H3808" even|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3808" fastest runner. Strong|strong="H2389" men|strong="H1368" will|strong="H5315" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" strong|strong="H2389" enough. Soldiers|strong="H1368" will|strong="H5315" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" able to|strong="H5315" save|strong="H4422" themselves|strong="H5315".
15 People|strong="H5315" with|strong="H5315" bows|strong="H7198" and|strong="H5975" arrows|strong="H7198" will|strong="H5315" not|strong="H3808" survive. Fast|strong="H7031" runners|strong="H7272" will|strong="H5315" not|strong="H3808" escape|strong="H4422". People|strong="H5315" on|strong="H7392" horses|strong="H5483" will|strong="H5315" not|strong="H3808" escape|strong="H4422" alive|strong="H5315".
16 At|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3117" time|strong="H3117" even very brave soldiers|strong="H1368" will|strong="H3068" run|strong="H5127" away|strong="H5127". They|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" not take the|strong="H5002" time|strong="H3117" to|strong="H3068" put|strong="H5127" their|strong="H3068" clothes on|strong="H3117".” This|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" what the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068" said.
