2:1 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; For three 7969 transgressions 6588 of Moab 4124, and for four 702, I will not turn away 7725 8686 [the punishment] thereof; because he burned 8313 8800 the bones 6106 of the king 4428 of Edom 123 into lime 7875:

2:2 But I will send 7971 8765 a fire 784 upon Moab 4124, and it shall devour 398 8804 the palaces 759 of Kerioth 7152: and Moab 4124 shall die 4191 8804 with tumult 7588, with shouting 8643, [and] with the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782:

2:3 And I will cut off 3772 8689 the judge 8199 8802 from the midst 7130 thereof, and will slay 2026 8799 all the princes 8269 thereof with him, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.

2:4 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; For three 7969 transgressions 6588 of Judah 3063, and for four 702, I will not turn away 7725 8686 [the punishment] thereof; because they have despised 3988 8800 the law 8451 of the LORD 3068, and have not kept 8104 8804 his commandments 2706, and their lies 3577 caused them to err 8582 8686, after 310 the which their fathers 1 have walked 1980 8804:

2:5 But I will send 7971 8765 a fire 784 upon Judah 3063, and it shall devour 398 8804 the palaces 759 of Jerusalem 3389.

2:6 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; For three 7969 transgressions 6588 of Israel 3478, and for four 702, I will not turn away 7725 8686 [the punishment] thereof; because they sold 4376 8800 the righteous 6662 for silver 3701, and the poor 34 for a pair of shoes 5275;

2:7 That pant 7602 8802 after the dust 6083 of the earth 776 on the head 7218 of the poor 1800, and turn aside 5186 8686 the way 1870 of the meek 6035: and a man 376 and his father 1 will go 3212 8799 in unto the [same] maid 5291, to profane 2490 8763 my holy 6944 name 8034:(maid: or, young woman)

2:8 And they lay [themselves] down 5186 8686 upon clothes 899 laid to pledge 2254 8803 by 681 every altar 4196, and they drink 8354 8799 the wine 3196 of the condemned 6064 8803 [in] the house 1004 of their god 430.(the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted)

2:9 Yet destroyed 8045 8689 I the Amorite 567 before 6440 them, whose height 1363 [was] like the height 1363 of the cedars 730, and he [was] strong 2634 as the oaks 437; yet I destroyed 8045 8686 his fruit 6529 from above 4605, and his roots 8328 from beneath.

2:10 Also I brought you up 5927 8689 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and led 3212 8686 you forty 705 years 8141 through the wilderness 4057, to possess 3423 8800 the land 776 of the Amorite 567.

2:11 And I raised up 6965 8686 of your sons 1121 for prophets 5030, and of your young men 970 for Nazarites 5139. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children 1121 of Israel 3478? saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites 5139 wine 3196 to drink 8248 8686; and commanded 6680 8765 the prophets 5030, saying 559 8800, Prophesy 5012 8735 not.

2:13 Behold, I am pressed 5781 8688 under you, as a cart 5699 is pressed 5781 8686 [that is] full 4392 of sheaves 5995.(I am…: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth)

2:14 Therefore the flight 4498 shall perish 6 8804 from the swift 7031, and the strong 2389 shall not strengthen 553 8762 his force 3581, neither shall the mighty 1368 deliver 4422 8762 himself 5315:(himself: Heb. his soul, or, life)

2:15 Neither shall he stand 5975 8799 that handleth 8610 8802 the bow 7198; and [he that is] swift 7031 of foot 7272 shall not deliver 4422 8762 [himself]: neither shall he that rideth 7392 8802 the horse 5483 deliver 4422 8762 himself 5315.

2:16 And [he that is] courageous 533 3820 among the mighty 1368 shall flee away 5127 8799 naked 6174 in that day 3117, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.(courageous: Heb. strong of his heart)
