I will destroy its rulers
    and slaughter all of his officials with him.

For Three Crimes of Judah

Thus says the Lord:

For three crimes of Judah, and for four,
    I will not revoke my decree.
Because they have spurned the law of the Lord
    and have not observed his statutes,
having been led astray
    by the lies which their fathers followed,
I will send fire down on Judah
    to devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

I will send fire(J) on Judah
