Amos 2

Judgment on Moab (continued)

כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עַל-שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי מוֹאָב וְעַל-אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַל-שָׂרְפוֹ עַצְמוֹת מֶֽלֶךְ-אֱדוֹם לַשִּֽׂיד׃
1
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:
וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי-אֵשׁ בְּמוֹאָב וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנוֹת הַקְּרִיּוֹת וּמֵת בְּשָׁאוֹן מוֹאָב בִּתְרוּעָה בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃
2
But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
וְהִכְרַתִּי שׁוֹפֵט מִקִּרְבָּהּ וְכָל-שָׂרֶיהָ אֶהֱרוֹג עִמּוֹ אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃
3
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

Judgment on Judah

כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עַל-שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי יְהוּדָה וְעַל-אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַֽל-מָאֳסָם אֶת-תּוֹרַת יְהוָה וְחֻקָּיו לֹא שָׁמָרוּ וַיַּתְעוּם כִּזְבֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר-הָלְכוּ אֲבוֹתָם אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃
4
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:
וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי אֵשׁ בִּֽיהוּדָה וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
5
But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

Judgment on Israel

כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עַל-שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל-אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַל-מִכְרָם בַּכֶּסֶף צַדִּיק וְאֶבְיוֹן בַּעֲבוּר נַעֲלָֽיִם׃
6
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;
הַשֹּׁאֲפִים עַל-עֲפַר-אֶרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ דַּלִּים וְדֶרֶךְ עֲנָוִים יַטּוּ וְאִישׁ וְאָבִיו יֵֽלְכוּ אֶל-הַֽנַּעֲרָה לְמַעַן חַלֵּל אֶת-שֵׁם קָדְשִֽׁי׃
7
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:
וְעַל-בְּגָדִים חֲבֻלִים יַטּוּ אֵצֶל כָּל-מִזְבֵּחַ וְיֵין עֲנוּשִׁים יִשְׁתּוּ בֵּית אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃
8
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.
וְאָנֹכִי הִשְׁמַדְתִּי אֶת-הָֽאֱמֹרִי מִפְּנֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר כְּגֹבַהּ אֲרָזִים גָּבְהוֹ וְחָסֹן הוּא כָּֽאַלּוֹנִים וָאַשְׁמִיד פִּרְיוֹ מִמַּעַל וְשָׁרָשָׁיו מִתָּֽחַת׃
9
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.
וְאָנֹכִי הֶעֱלֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וָאוֹלֵךְ אֶתְכֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה לָרֶשֶׁת אֶת-אֶרֶץ הָאֱמֹרִֽי׃
10
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.
וָאָקִים מִבְּנֵיכֶם לִנְבִיאִים וּמִבַּחוּרֵיכֶם לִנְזִרִים הַאַף אֵֽין-זֹאת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
11
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.
וַתַּשְׁקוּ אֶת-הַנְּזִרִים יָיִן וְעַל-הַנְּבִיאִים צִוִּיתֶם לֵאמֹר לֹא תִּנָּבְאֽוּ׃
12
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי מֵעִיק תַּחְתֵּיכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר תָּעִיק הָעֲגָלָה הַֽמְלֵאָה לָהּ עָמִֽיר׃
13
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
וְאָבַד מָנוֹס מִקָּל וְחָזָק לֹא-יְאַמֵּץ כֹּחוֹ וְגִבּוֹר לֹא-יְמַלֵּט נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
14
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
וְתֹפֵשׂ הַקֶּשֶׁת לֹא יַעֲמֹד וְקַל בְּרַגְלָיו לֹא יְמַלֵּט וְרֹכֵב הַסּוּס לֹא יְמַלֵּט נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
15
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.
וְאַמִּיץ לִבּוֹ בַּגִּבּוֹרִים עָרוֹם יָנוּס בַּיּוֹם-הַהוּא נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
16
And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
