1. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2. but I will send a fire on Moab,and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth;and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar;
3. and I will cut off the judge from amongst them,and will kill all its princes with him,”says the Lord.
4. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because they have rejected the Lord’s law,and have not kept his statutes,and their lies have led them astray,after which their fathers walked;
5. but I will send a fire on Judah,and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
