Amos 2:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Against Moab, Judah, and Israel.
1 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn to it, because it burnt the [a]bones of the king of Edom into lime.
2 Therefore will I 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 a trumpet.
3 And I will cut off the judge out of the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.

“For three sins of Moab,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(B)

2 I will send fire on Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)

amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
