5 And I will send a fire onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
5 but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.
6 Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7 They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage my holy name.
7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8 And they have lain on garments taken in pledge next to every altar. And they drank the wine of the damned in the house of their God.
8 They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from above and his roots below.
9 Yet I destroyed 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.
10 It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, sons of Israel, says the Lord?
11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says Yahweh.
12 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
13 Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will not save his life.
14 Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15 And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will not save his life.
15 He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16 And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
16 He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says Yahweh.
