upon Judah,

4 ¶ Thus² saithº ª the LORD;º For² threeº transgressionsº of Judah,º and for² four,º I will not² turn awayº ª [the punishment] thereof; because² they have despisedº ª ² the lawº of the LORD,º and have not² keptº ª his commandments,º and their liesº caused them to err,º ª afterº the which² their fathersº have walked:º ª 5 But I will sendº ª a fireº upon Judah,º and it shall devourº ª the palacesº of Jerusalem.º

God complaineth of their unfaithfulness.

9 ¶ Yet destroyedº ª I² ² the Amoriteº beforeº ² them, whose² heightº [was] like the heightº of the cedars,º and he² [was] strongº as the oaks;º yet I destroyedº ª his fruitº from above,º ² and his rootsº from beneath.² ² 10 Also I² brought you upº ª ² from the landº ² of Egypt,º and led¹ ª ² you fortyº yearsº through the wilderness,º to possessº ª ² the landº of the Amorite.º 11 And I raised upº ª of your sonsº ² for prophets,º and of your young menº ² for Nazarites.º [Is it] not² even² thus,² O ye childrenº of Israel?º saithº ª the LORD.º 12 But ye gave² the Nazaritesº wineº to drink;º ª and commandedº ª the prophets,º saying,º ª Prophesyº ª not.² 13 Behold,² I² am pressedº ª under² you, as² a cartº is pressedº ª [that is] full¹ of² sheaves.º 14 Therefore the flightº shall perishº ª from the swift,º ² and the strongº shall not² strengthenº ª his force,º neither² shall the mightyº deliverº ª himself:º 15 Neither² shall he standº ª that handlethº ª the bow;º and [he that is] swiftº of footº shall not² deliverº ª [himself]: neither² shall he that ridethº ª the horseº deliverº ª himself.º 16 And [he that is] courageousº º among the mightyº shall flee awayº ª nakedº in that² day,º saithº ª the LORD.º
