The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Moab(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because he burned the bones
of the king of Edom to lime.(B)
Therefore, I will send fire against Moab,
and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth.(C)
Moab will die with a tumult,(D)
with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn.
I will cut off the judge(E) from the land
and kill all its officials(F) with him.
The Lord has spoken.

I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
I will destroy her ruler(F)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(G)
says the Lord.(H)
