The People of Moab

This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes of Moab,
    I will punish them.
They burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
So I will send fire on Moab
    that will destroy the strong buildings of the city of Kerioth.
The people of Moab will die in a great noise,
    in the middle of the sounds of war and trumpets.

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Moab,(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(B)
    the bones of Edom’s king,
I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
