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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023293">2</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023294">3</a>. And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023295">4</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023296">5</a>. But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023297">6</a>. 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;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023298">7</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023299">8</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023300">9</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023301">10</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023302">11</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023303">12</a>. But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023306">15</a>. Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023307">16</a>. And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.</li>
