says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:

ⁱ“For three transgressions of ^jTyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they delivered up a whole people to Edom,
and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 So I will send a fire upon the wall of ^kTyre,
and it shall devour her strongholds.”
11 Thus says the Lord:

^l“For three transgressions of ^mEdom,

^qand he kept his wrath forever.

14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^xRabbah,
^yand it shall devour her strongholds,

he and his princes ^{▼▼Or officials} together,”

says the Lord.

the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send a fire upon Moab,

and will kill ^aiall its princes ^{▼▼Or officials} with him,”

says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

4 Thus says the Lord:

^ak“For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^althey have rejected the law of the Lord,
and have not kept his statutes,
but ^amtheir lies have led them astray,
those after which their fathers walked.
5 So ^anI will send a fire upon Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

6 Thus says the Lord:

^ao“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^apthey sell the righteous for ^aqsilver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 those who trample the head of the poor ^arinto the dust of the earth
and ^asturn aside the way of the afflicted;
^ata man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments ^autaken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
9 “Yet ^avit was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
^awwhose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
^axI destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
10 ^ayAlso it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
^azand led you forty years in the wilderness,
^bato possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for ^bbNazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”

declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites ^bcdrink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, ^bd‘You shall not prophesy.’
13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 ^beFlight shall perish from the swift,
^bfand the strong shall not retain his strength,
^bgnor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is ^bhswift of foot shall not save himself,
^binor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked in that day,”

declares the Lord.

Zechariah 9:4

4 But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessions
and strike down ^bjher power on the sea,
and ^bkshe shall be devoured by fire.
