I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](A)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(B) and the blast of the trumpet.(C)
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)
