Therefore, I will send fire against Moab,
and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth.(A)
Moab will die with a tumult,(B)
with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn.
I will cut off the judge(C) from the land
and kill all its officials(D) with him.
The Lord has spoken.

Judgment on Judah

The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Judah(E)
for three crimes, even four,
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord(F)
and have not kept his statutes.(G)
The lies(H) that their ancestors followed(I)
have led them astray.

“For three sins of Judah,(G)

because they have been led astray(J) by false gods,[b](K)
    the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(L)
