1. This is what the lord says:“The people of Moab have sinned again and again,and I will not let them go unpunished!They desecrated the bones of Edom’s king,burning them to ashes.
2. So I will send down fire on the land of Moab,and all the fortresses in Kerioth will be destroyed.The people will fall in the noise of battle,as the warriors shout and the ram’s horn sounds.
3. And I will destroy their kingand slaughter all their princes,”says the lord.
4. This is what the lord says:“The people of Judah have sinned again and again,and I will not let them go unpunished!They have rejected the instruction of the lord,refusing to obey his decrees.They have been led astray by the same liesthat deceived their ancestors.
5. So I will send down fire on Judah,and all the fortresses of Jerusalem will be destroyed.”
6. This is what the lord says: “The people of Israel have sinned again and again,and I will not let them go unpunished!They sell honorable people for silverand poor people for a pair of sandals.
7. They trample helpless people in the dustand shove the oppressed out of the way.Both father and son sleep with the same woman,corrupting my holy name.
