^{1 Ref} Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

^{2 Ref} but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

^{3 Ref} and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.

^{4 Ref} Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk:

^{5 Ref} but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
