Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Moab,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because he burned to lime
    the bones of the king of Edom.(A)
So I will send a fire on Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;(B)
I will cut off the ruler from its midst
    and will kill all its officials with him,
            says the Lord.(C)

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)
