So I will send fire against Moab,
    and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth;
Moab will die in uproar,
    with a war cry and the alarm of the trumpet.
I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will slay all its princes with him,
    says the Lord.

Judgment Against Judah

For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept His commandments.
The lies which their fathers followed
    have led them astray.

I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](A)

I will destroy her ruler(D)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(E)
says the Lord.(F)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,(G)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(H) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(I)
because they have been led astray(J) by false gods,[b](K)
    the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(L)
