I will send a fire on Judah
and burn down the palaces of Jerusalem.

Israel Will Be Judged for Its Crimes

This is what the Lord says:

Because Israel has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
I will not change my plans.
The people of Israel sell the righteous for money
and the needy for a pair of sandals.
They stomp the heads of the poor into the dust.
They push the humble out of the way.
Father and son sleep with the same woman.
They dishonor my holy name.

    and the needy for a pair of sandals.(E)

    as on the dust of the ground
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
    and so profane my holy name.(F)
