Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:

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

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(B) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(C)
because they have been led astray(D) by false gods,[a](E)
    the gods[b] their ancestors followed,(F)
I will send fire(G) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(H) of Jerusalem.(I)
