I will cut off the ruler from her midst,
and slay all her princes with him.
Thus Adonai has said.

As for Judah and Israel
Thus says Adonai:
“For three crimes of Judah
    even for four, I will not relent.
For they despise Adonai’s Torah
    and have not kept His statutes.
Their lies have misled them—
those their fathers walked after.
So I will send fire upon Judah—
it will devour Jerusalem’s citadels.”

“For three sins of Judah,(D)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(E) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(F)
because they have been led astray(G) by false gods,[a](H)
    the gods[b] their ancestors followed,(I)
I will send fire(J) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(K) of Jerusalem.(L)
