The .ii. Chapter.
He prophecieth against Moab, Iuda, and Israel.
A
1 Thus sayth the Lorde,
For three wickednesses
of Moab, ∧ for foure
I will not note spare him:
because he burnt the
bones of the king of Edom
into note lime.
2 Therfore will I send a fire into Moab,
which shal consume the palaces of Carioth,
and Moab shall die with tumult,
with showting, and with the sounde of
the trumpet.
3 And I will cut of the iudge out of the
mids therof, and wil slay all the princes
therof with him, sayth the Lorde.
4 Thus sayth the Lorde, For three wickednesses
of Iuda, and for foure I will
not spare hym: because they haue cast away
the lawe of the Lord, and haue not
kept his ordinaunces, and their lies caused
them to erre, after the which their
fathers walked.
5 Therfore will I send a fire into Iuda,
which shall consume the palaces of Hierusalem:
6 Thus sayth the Lorde, For three wickednesses
of Israel, and for foure I wil
not spare hym: because they solde the
righteous for siluer, and the poore for a
paire of shoes.
7 They note gape for breath ouer the head of
the poore in the dust of the earth, ∧ peruert
the way of the note meke: A man and
his father will go in to one note mayde, to
dishonour my holy name.
8 And they note lye vpon clothes note layde to
pledge by euery aulter: and in the house
of their god, they drinke the wine note of
the condempned.
9 noteYet destroyed I the Amorite before
them, whose heyght was like the height
of the Cedar trees, and he was strong
as the okes: notwithstanding I destroyed
his fruite from aboue, and his
roote from beneath.
10 Also I brought you vp from the lande
of Egypt, ∧ led you fourtie yeres thorow
the wildernesse, to possesse the lande of
the Amorites.
11 And I raysed vp of your sonnes for prophetes,
and of your young men for note Nazarites:
Is it not euen thus, O ye children
of Israel, sayth the Lorde?
12 But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to
drinke, and commaunded the prophetes,
saying, Prophecie not.
13 Beholde, I am pressed vnder you, as a
cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.
14 Therfore the note flight shall perishe from
the swift, and the strong shal not strengthen
his force, neither shall the mightie
saue his life.
15 Nor he that handleth the bowe shall
stande, nor he that is swift of foote shall
escape, neither shall he that rydeth the
horse, saue his life.
16 And he that is of mightie courage among
the strong men, shal flee away naked
in that day, sayth the Lorde.
