And I shall send fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Kerioth; and Moab shall die in sound, in the noise of a trump (and Moab shall die amid the sound of trumpets).

And I shall lose a judge of the midst thereof, and I shall slay with it all the princes thereof, saith the Lord. (And I shall destroy their judge, or their ruler, in their midst, and I shall kill all their leaders along with him, saith the Lord.)

The Lord saith these things, On three great trespasses of Judah, and on four, I shall not convert him, for he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and kept not the commandments of him; for their idols, after which the fathers of them went, deceived them. (The Lord saith these things, For the three great trespasses of Judah, and for the fourth, I shall not turn away their punishment, for they have thrown away the Law of the Lord, and they did not obey his commandments; for they were deceived by the same idols, which their forefathers served.)

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

    amid war cries(B) and the blast of the trumpet.(C)
I will destroy her ruler(D)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(E)

“For three sins of Judah,(G)

because they have been led astray(J) by false gods,[b](K)
    the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(L)
