Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
bBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies dwhich their fathers followed.
“For three transgressions of aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
bBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies dwhich their fathers followed.
5 aBut I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aIsrael, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because bthey sell the righteous for silver,
And the cpoor for a pair of sandals.
“For three transgressions of aIsrael, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because bthey sell the righteous for silver,
And the cpoor for a pair of sandals.
7 They1 pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And apervert the way of the humble.
bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
cTo defile My holy name.
And apervert the way of the humble.
bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
cTo defile My holy name.
8 They lie down aby every altar on clothes btaken in pledge,
And drink the wine of1 the condemned in the house of their god.
And drink the wine of1 the condemned in the house of their god.
9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the aAmorite before them,
Whose height was like the bheight of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I cdestroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
Whose height was like the bheight of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I cdestroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
