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?
