Judgment on Israel

6Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals—H559H3068H7969H6588H3478H702H7725H4376H6662H3701H34H5275 7those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same girl, so that my holy name is profaned;H7602H6083H776H7218H1800H5186H1870H6035H376H1H3212H5291H2490H6944H8034 8they lay themselves down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.H5186H899H2254H681H4196H8354H3196H6064H1004H430 9"Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.H8045H567H6440H1363H1363H730H2634H437H8045H6529H4605H8328 10Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.H5927H776H4714H3212H705H8141H4057H3423H776H567 11And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" declares the LORD.H6965H1121H5030H970H5139H1121H3478H5002H3068 12"But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'You shall not prophesy.'H5139H3196H8248H6680H5030H559H5012 13"Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.H5781H5699H5781H4392H5995 14Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;H4498H6H7031H2389H553H3581H1368H4422H5315 15he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;H5975H8610H7198H7031H7272H4422H7392H5483H4422H5315 16and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," declares the LORD.H533H3820H1368H5127H6174H3117H5002H3068
