|
|
2. So I will send fire on Moab that will destroy the strong buildings of the city of Kerioth. The people of Moab will die in a great noise, in the middle of the sounds of war and trumpets.
|
2. But I will send H7971 a fire H784 upon Moab H4124 , and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Kerioth H7152 : and Moab H4124 shall die H4191 with tumult H7588 , with shouting H8643 , and with the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 :
|

|

|
|
7. They walk on poor people as if they were dirt, and they refuse to be fair to those who are suffering. Fathers and sons have sexual relations with the same woman, and so they ruin my holy name.
|
7. That pant H7602 after H5921 the dust H6083 of the earth H776 on the head H7218 of the poor H1800 , and turn aside H5186 the way H1870 of the meek H6035 : and a man H376 and his father H1 will go in H1980 unto H413 the same maid H5291 , to H4616 profane H2490 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 :
|
|
8. As they worship at their altars, they lie down on clothes taken from the poor. They fine people, and with that money they buy wine to drink in the house of their god.
|
8. And they lay themselves down H5186 upon H5921 clothes H899 laid to pledge H2254 by H681 every H3605 altar H4196 , and they drink H8354 the wine H3196 of the condemned H6064 in the house H1004 of their god H430 .
|
|
9. "But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them, who were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks -- I destroyed them completely.
|

|
|
10. It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt and led you for forty years through the desert so I could give you the land of the Amorites.
|
10. Also I H595 brought you up H5927 H853 from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and led H1980 you forty H705 years H8141 through the wilderness H4057 , to possess H3423 H853 the land H776 of the Amorite H567 .
|
|
11. I made some of your children to be prophets and some of your young people to be Nazirites. People of Israel, isn't this true?" says the Lord.
|
11. And I raised up H6965 of your sons H4480 H1121 for prophets H5030 , and of your young men H4480 H970 for Nazarites H5139 . Is it not H369 even H637 thus H2063 , O ye children H1121 of Israel H3478 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. "But you made the Nazirites drink wine and told the prophets not to prophesy.
|
12. But ye gave H853 the Nazarites H5139 wine H3196 to drink H8248 ; and commanded H6680 the prophets H5030 , saying H559 , Prophesy H5012 not H3808 .
|
|
13. Now I will make you get stuck, as a wagon loaded with grain gets stuck.
|
13. Behold H2009 , I H595 am pressed H5781 under H8478 you, as H834 a cart H5699 is pressed H5781 that is full of H4392 sheaves H5995 .
|
|
14. No one will escape, not even the fastest runner. Strong people will not be strong enough; warriors will not be able to save themselves.
|
14. Therefore the flight H4498 shall perish H6 from the swift H4480 H7031 , and the strong H2389 shall not H3808 strengthen H553 his force H3581 , neither H3808 shall the mighty H1368 deliver H4422 himself H5315 :
|
|
15. Soldiers with bows and arrows will not stand and fight, and even fast runners will not get away; soldiers on horses will not escape alive.
|
15. Neither H3808 shall he stand H5975 that handleth H8610 the bow H7198 ; and he that is swift H7031 of foot H7272 shall not H3808 deliver H4422 himself : neither H3808 shall he that rideth H7392 the horse H5483 deliver H4422 himself H5315 .
|
|
16. At that time even the bravest warriors will run away without their armor," says the Lord.
|
16. And he that is courageous H533 H3820 among the mighty H1368 shall flee away H5127 naked H6174 in that H1931 day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
