1. The Lord says, "The people of Moab have sinned again and again. So I will punish them. They burned the bones of Edom's king to ashes.
2. So I will send fire to destroy Moab. It will burn up Kerioth's forts. Moab will come crashing down with a loud noise. War cries will be heard. So will the blast of trumpets.
3. I will cut off Moab's ruler. I will also kill all of its officials," says the Lord.
4. The Lord says, "The people of Judah have sinned again and again. So I will punish them. They have refused to obey my law. They have not kept my rules. Other gods have led them down the wrong path. Their people before them worshiped those gods.
5. So I will send fire to destroy Judah. It will burn up Jerusalem's forts."
