God

I will set fire to the wall of Rabbah, and it will consume its palaces amid shouts on the day of battle, amid a storm on the day of the whirlwind.

Their king will go into exile, he and his princes together," says ADONAI.

Here is what ADONAI says: "For Mo'av's three crimes, no, four - I will not reverse it because he burned the bones of the king of Edom, turning them into lime;

I will send fire on Mo'av, and it will consume the palaces of K'riot. Mo'av will die with turmoil and shouting, along with the sound of the shofar.

I will cut off the judge from among them and kill all his princes with him," says ADONAI.

Here is what ADONAI says: "For Y'hudah's three crimes, no, four - I will not reverse it because they rejected ADONAI's Torah and haven't observed his laws, and their lies caused them to fall into error and live the way their ancestors did;

I will send fire on Y'hudah, and it will consume the palaces of Yerushalayim.

Here is what ADONAI says: "For Isra'el's three crimes, no, four - I will not reverse it because they sell the upright for silver and the poor for a pair of shoes,

grinding the heads of the poor in the dust and pushing the lowly out of the way; father and son sleep with the same girl, profaning my holy name;

"I destroyed the Emori before them; though tall as cedars and strong as oaks, I destroyed their fruit above and their root below.

More than that, I brought you up from Egypt, led you forty years in the desert, so that you could have the Emori's land.

I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, other young men of yours to be n'zirim. People of Isra'el! Isn't that true?" asks ADONAI.

"Enough! I will make all this crush you, just as a cart overloaded with grain crushes what's under it.

On that day even the bravest warriors will throw off their weapons and flee," says ADONAI.

"Listen to this word which ADONAI has spoken against you, people of Isra'el, against the entire family that I brought up from the land of Egypt:

"Of all the families on earth, only you have I intimately known. This is why I will punish you for all your crimes."

When the shofar is blown in the city, don't the people tremble? Can disaster befall a city without ADONAI's having done it?

ADONAI, God, does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

The lion has roared. Who will not fear? ADONAI, God, has spoken. Who will not prophesy?

For they don't know how to do right," says ADONAI. "They store up violence and robbery in their palaces."

Therefore, here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: "An enemy will surround the land. He will strip you of your strength, and plunder your palaces."

This is what ADONAI says: "As a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion a couple of leg bones or a piece of an ear; so the people of Isra'el in Shomron will be rescued, huddled under cushions in the corners of their beds."

"Hear, and testify against the house of Ya'akov," says Adonai ELOHIM Elohei-Tzva'ot.

"For when I punish Isra'el's crimes, I will also punish the altars of Beit-El. The horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.

I will tear down winter houses as well as summer houses; houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed; the mansions will be no more," says ADONAI.
