1. This is what the Lord says:Because Moab has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,I will not change my plans.The Moabites have cremated Edom’s king.
2. I will send a fire on Moaband burn down the palaces of Kerioth.Moab will die during the noise of battlewhile troops are shouting and rams’ horns are blowing.
3. I will take their judges away from them.I will kill all their officials at the same time.The Lord has said this.
4. This is what the Lord says:Because Judah has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,I will not change my plans.The people of Judah have rejected the Lord’s Teachingsand haven’t kept his laws.They have been led astray by false teachings,the same ones their ancestors followed.
5. I will send a fire on Judahand burn down the palaces of Jerusalem.
6. This is what the Lord says:Because Israel has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,I will not change my plans.The people of Israel sell the righteous for moneyand the needy for a pair of sandals.
7. They stomp the heads of the poor into the dust.They push the humble out of the way.Father and son sleep with the same woman.They dishonor my holy name.
