30:002:005 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and
it shall devour the
palaces
of Jerusalem.
30:002:006 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;
30:002:007 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:
30:002:008 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.
30:002:009 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.
30:002:010 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.
30:002:011 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.
30:002:012 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink;
and commanded the
prophets,
saying, Prophesy not.
30:002:013 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart
is pressed that is
full
of sheaves.
30:002:014 Therefore the flight shall perish from
the swift, and the
strong
shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the
mighty
deliver himself:
30:002:015 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.
30:002:016 And he that is courageous among the mighty
shall flee away
naked
in that day, saith the lord.
30:003:001 Hear this word that the lord hath
spoken against you, O
children
of Israel, against the whole family which I brought
up
from the land of Egypt, saying,
30:003:002 You only have I known of all the families
of the earth:
therefore
I will punish you for all your iniquities.
30:003:003 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
30:003:004 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he
hath no prey? will a
young
lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
30:003:005 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth,
where no gin is for
him?
shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have
taken
nothing
at all?
