Judgment on Moab, Judah, and Israel
This is what the LORD says: Zep 2:8-9Amo 1:3Ezk 25:8-92Ki 3:26-27Amo 2:4Isa 15:1-9Isa 25:10Jer 48:1-47
“For three transgressions of Moab, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment, 1
because he burned to lime
the bones of Edom’s king.
So I will send fire against Moab Jer 48:24Jer 48:41Amo 1:14Isa 9:5Jer 48:34
to consume the citadels of Kerioth.
Moab will die in tumult,
amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.
I will cut off the ruler of Moab Jer 48:7Num 24:17Isa 40:23Jer 48:25Psa 2:10
and kill all the officials with him,”
says the LORD.
This is what the LORD says: Ezk 20:24Ezk 20:13Ezk 20:16Hab 2:18Hos 12:2Isa 28:15Jer 16:19-202Ki 17:19
“For three transgressions of Judah, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment,
because they reject the Law of the LORD
and fail to keep His statutes;
they are led astray by the lies
in which their fathers walked.
So I will send fire upon Judah Hos 8:14Jer 17:27Jer 21:10Jer 37:8-10Jer 39:8Jer 52:13
to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
This is what the LORD says: Jol 3:3Amo 5:11-12Mic 3:2-32Ki 17:7-182Ki 18:12Amo 6:3-7Amo 8:4-6Ezk 23:5-9
“For three transgressions of Israel, even four,
I will not revoke My judgment,
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals.
They trample on the heads of the poor Amo 5:12Ezk 22:11Isa 10:21Co 5:1Mic 2:2Mic 2:91Ki 21:42Sa 12:14
as on the dust of the earth;
they push the needy out of their way.
A man and his father
have relations with the same girl
and so profane My holy name.
They lie down beside every altar Deu 24:12-17Exo 22:26-27Amo 6:61Co 10:211Co 10:71Co 8:10Amo 4:1Amo 6:4
on garments taken in pledge.
And in the house of their God, 2
they drink wine obtained through fines. 3
Yet it was I who destroyed Job 18:16Mal 4:1Deu 2:24-33Deu 3:11Deu 9:1-3Exo 34:11Gen 15:16Num 13:28-29
the Amorite before them,
though his height was like that of the cedars,
and he was as strong as the oaks.
Yet I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots below.
And I brought you up from the land of Egypt Deu 2:7Exo 12:51Act 7:42Amo 3:1Act 13:18Amo 9:7Exo 3:8Mic 6:4
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
that you might take possession
of the land of the Amorite.
I raised up prophets from your sons Num 6:2-3Jer 7:251Ki 17:11Ki 18:41Ki 19:161Ki 20:131Ki 20:351Ki 20:41
and Nazirites from your young men.
Is this not true,
O children of Israel?”
declares the LORD.
“But you made the Nazirites drink wine Amo 7:13Isa 30:10Jer 11:21Mic 2:6Amo 7:16
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
Behold, I am about to crush you in your place Isa 1:14Ezk 16:43Ezk 6:9Isa 43:24Isa 7:13Mal 2:17Psa 78:40
as with a cart full of grain.
Escape will fail the swift, Jer 9:23Amo 9:1-3Ecc 9:11Psa 33:16Isa 30:16-17Job 11:20
the strong will not prevail by his strength,
and the mighty will not save his life.
The archer will not stand his ground, Psa 33:16-17Ezk 39:3
the fleet of foot will not escape,
and the horseman will not save his life.
Even the bravest of mighty men Mrk 14:522Ki 7:8-20Jdg 4:17Jer 48:41
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the LORD.
