1. This is what the Lord says: “I will definitely punish the people of Moab for the many crimes they did. Moab burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
2. So I will start a fire in Moab that will destroy the high towers of Kerioth. There will be terrible shouting and the sounds of a trumpet, and Moab will die.
3. So I will bring an end to the kings of Moab, and I will kill all the leaders of Moab.” This is what the Lord said.
4. This is what the Lord says: “I will definitely punish Judah for the many crimes they did. They refused to obey the Lord’S teachings and they did not keep his commands. Their ancestors believed lies, and those same lies caused the people of Judah to stop following God.
5. So I will start a fire in Judah that will destroy the high towers of Jerusalem.”
