So I will send fire upon Moab
And it will consume the citadels of (A)Kerioth;
And Moab will die amid the (B)panic of battle,
Amid war cries and the sound of a trumpet.
I will also eliminate the [a](C)judge from her midst
And slay all her (D)leaders with him,” says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (E)Judah, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they (F)rejected the Law of the Lord
And have not kept His statutes;
Their [b](G)lies also have led them astray,
Those which their (H)fathers followed.
