So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for he pursued his brother with the sword, and corrupted his compassions, and his anger has torn perpetually, and he kept it, his wrath, forever.
So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, to make their border larger.
So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.
So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they have carried into exile, to deliver up a complete population to Edom.
So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they shut up into exile a complete population to Edom and did not remember the covenant of brothers.
So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn back from it; for they rejected the Law of Jehovah, and they have not kept His statutes. And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray.
Both palms are on evil, to do it well. The ruler is asking for a bribe, also the judge. And the great man speaks the lust of his soul; he acts, and they weave it together.
You are of the devil as father, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
For such ones do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth speech and fine speeches they deceive the hearts of the ones without guile.
