Moab Will Be Judged for Its Crimes

This is what Yahweh says:

Because Moab has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
    I will not change my plans.
        The Moabites have cremated Edom’s king.
I will send a fire on Moab
    and burn down the palaces of Kerioth.
        Moab will die during the noise of battle
            while troops are shouting and rams’ horns are blowing.
I will take their judges away from them.
    I will kill all their officials at the same time.

Yahweh has said this.

This is what the Lord says:

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