Judgment on Judah

4Thus says the Lord:

n“For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because othey have rejected the law of the Lord,

and have not kept his statutes,

but ptheir lies have led them astray,

those after which their fathers walked.

5So qI will send a fire upon Judah,

and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

6Thus says the Lord:

n“For three transgressions of Israel,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because rthey sell the righteous for ssilver,

and the needy for a pair of sandals—

7those who trample the head of the poor tinto the dust of the earth

and uturn aside the way of the afflicted;

va man and his father go in to the same girl,

so that my holy name is profaned;

8they lay themselves down beside every altar

on garments wtaken in pledge,

and in the house of their God they drink

the wine of those who have been fined.

9“Yet xit was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,

ywhose height was like the height of the cedars

and who was as strong as the oaks;

zI destroyed his fruit above

and his roots beneath.

10aAlso it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt

band led you forty years in the wilderness,

xto possess the land of the Amorite.

11And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,

and some of your young men for cNazirites.

Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”

declares the Lord.

12“But you made the Nazirites ddrink wine,

and commanded the prophets,

saying, e‘You shall not prophesy.’

13“Behold, I will press you down in your place,

as a cart full of sheaves presses down.

14fFlight shall perish from the swift,

fand the strong shall not retain his strength,

gnor shall the mighty save his life;

15he who handles the bow shall not stand,

and he who is hswift of foot shall not save himself,

inor shall he who rides the horse save his life;

16and he who is stout of heart among the mighty

shall flee away naked in that day,”

declares the Lord.
