1. Thus says the Lord:For three crimes of Moab, and now four—I will not take it back—Because he burned to ashesthe bones of Edom’s king,
2. I will send fire upon Moab,and it will devour the strongholds of Kerioth;Moab shall meet death amid uproar,battle cries and blasts of the ram’s horn.
3. I will cut off the ruler from its midst,and all the princes I will slay with him, says the Lord.
4. Thus says the Lord:For three crimes of Judah, and now four—I will not take it back—Because they spurned the instruction of the Lord,and did not keep his statutes;Because the lies which their ancestors followedhave led them astray,
5. I will send fire upon Judah,and it will devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.
6. Thus says the Lord:For three crimes of Israel, and now four—I will not take it back—Because they hand over the just for silver,and the poor for a pair of sandals;
