Thus says the Lord:

(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Moab,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because (C)he burned to lime
    the bones of the king of Edom.
So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of (D)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
(E)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will kill (F)all its princes[b] with him,”
says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:

(G)“For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (H)they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept his statutes,
but (I)their lies have led them astray,
    those after which their fathers walked.
So (J)I will send a fire upon Judah,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”
