The II. Chapter.
A Thus sayeth the LORDE: For thre and
foure wickednesses off Moab, I will
not spare him: note because he brent the bones
off the kynge of Edom to asshes. Therfore
wil I sende a fyre in to Moab, which
shal c&obar;sume þe; pallaces of Carioth: so þt; Moab
shal perish with a noyse, and the sounde
of a shawme. I will rote out the iudge from
am&obar;ge them, and slaye all his prynces with
him, sayeth the LORDE. Thus sayeth the
LORDE: for thre &abar;d foure wickednesses of Iuda,
I wil not spare him: note because he hath cast
asyde the lawe of the LORDE, and not kepte
his commaundementes: for why, they wolde
nedes be disceaued with the lyes, that their
forefathers folowed. Therfore will I sende
a fyre in to Iuda, which shal consume the
palaces of Ierusalem.
B Thus sayeth the LORDE: For thre ∧ foure
wickednesses of Israel, I wil not spare him:
because he hath solde the rightuous for money,
and the poore for shues. They treade
vpon poore mens heades in the dust of the
earth, ∧ croke the wayes off the meke. The
sonne and the father go to the harlot, to dishonoure
my holy name: they lye besyde euery
aulter vpon clothes taken to pledge, and
in the house of their goddes they drynke the
wyne of the oppressed. noteYet destroyed I the
Amorite before them, that was as hie as the
Cedre trees, and as stronge as the okes: notwithst&obar;dinge
I destroyed his frute fr&obar; aboue,
and his rote from vnder.
C Agayne: note I brought you out of the londe
of Egipte, and led you xl. yeares thorow the
wyldernesse, that ye might haue the Amoriters
londe in possession. I raysed vp prophetes
amonge youre children, and absteyners amonge
youre y&obar;ge men. Is it not so, o ye children
of Israel, sayeth the LORDE? But ye gaue
the absteyners wyne to drynke, note yee ye c&obar;maunded
the prophetes, sayenge: Prophecy
not. Beholde, I wil crasshe you in sonder, like
as a wayne crassheth, þt; is full of sheaues:
so that þe; swifte shall not escape, nether
the stronge be able to do eny thynge: no, the
giaunte shal not saue his owne life. The archer
shall not abyde, and the swifte off fote
shall not escape. The horsm&abar; shal not saue
his life, ∧ he that is as m&abar;ly of stomack as a
giaunte, shall in that daye be fayne to runne
his waye naked, sayeth the LORDE.
