New King James Version
Jotham Reigns in Judah(A)
27 Jotham (B)was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was [a]Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still (C)the people acted corruptly.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of (D)Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the (E)Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. 6 So Jotham became mighty, (F)because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 (G)So Jotham [b]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then (H)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

And for the sins of the house of Israel.

Are they not Jerusalem?

Authority of the Prophet’s Message
3 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
2 “You(A) only have I known of all the families of the earth;
(B)Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Judah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
(B)Because they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
(C)Their lies lead them astray,
Lies (D)which their fathers followed.
5 (E)But I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (F)Israel, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because (G)they sell the righteous for silver,
And the (H)poor for a pair of sandals.
7 They [a]pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And (I)pervert the way of the humble.
(J)A man and his father go in to the same girl,
(K)To defile My holy name.
8 They lie down (L)by every altar on clothes (M)taken in pledge,
And drink the wine of [b]the condemned in the house of their god.

And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
According to his deeds He will recompense him.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (K)wound,

I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
