2 mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit aedes Carioth, et morietur in tumultu Moab, in clamore et voce tubae;	2 And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare of a trumpet.

4 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Super tribus sceleribus Iudae et super quattuor verbum non revocabo: eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint C deceperunt enim eos idola sua, post quae abierant patres eorum C	4 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Judah, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has rejected the law of the Lord and has not kept his commandments. For their idols, which their fathers followed, have deceived them.
5 mittam ignem in Iudam, et devorabit aedes Ierusalem ”.	5 And I will send a fire onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
6 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Super tribus sceleribus Israel et super quattuor verbum non revocabo: eo quod vendiderint pro argento iustum et pauperem pro calceamentis;	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.
7 qui contriverint super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinaverint, et filius ac pater eius iverint ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum;	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.
8 et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerint iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum biberint in domo Dei sui.	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.
9 Ego autem exterminaveram Amorraeum a facie eorum, cuius altitudo sicut altitudo cedrorum, et fortitudo quasi quercuum; exterminaveram fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter.	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.
10 Ego ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis, ut possideretis terram Amorraei;	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.
11 et suscitavi de filiis vestris prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazaraeos. Numquid non ita est, filii Israel?, dicit Dominus.	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?
12 Et propinastis nazaraeis vinum et prophetis mandastis dicentes: “Ne prophetetis”.	12 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
13 Ecce ego comprimam vos ad solum, sicut comprimit plaustrum onustum feno;	13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.

15 tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur; ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam,	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.
16 et fortissimus corde inter robustos nudus fugiet in illa die ”, dicit Dominus.	16 And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
