I will cut off the ruler from its midst
    and will kill all its officials with him,
            says the Lord.(A)

Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord
    and have not kept his statutes,
but they have been led astray by the same lies
    after which their ancestors walked.(B)
So I will send a fire on Judah,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.(C)
