|
|
Judah, and also in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
|
|
\v 2 He said,
|
|
\q "Yahweh will roar from Zion;
|
|
\q he will raise his voice from Jerusalem.
|
|
\q The pastures of the shepherds will dry up;
|
|
\q the top of Carmel will wither."

\q because they threshed Gilead with instruments of iron.
|
|

|
|
\q to hand them over to Edom.
|

|
|
\q "For three sins of Edom,
|
|
\q even for four,

|
|
\q because he pursued his brother with the sword
|
|
\q and cast off all pity.
