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.
So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ker′ioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will slay all its princes with him,”
                says the Lord.
