“I will also cut off the [a](A)judge from her midst
And slay all her (B)princes with him,” says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of (C)Judah and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they (D)rejected the law of the Lord
And have not kept His statutes;
Their [b](E)lies also have led them astray,
Those after which their (F)fathers walked.
“So I will (G)send fire upon Judah
And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”

Because they have rejected the law(E) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(F)
because they have been led astray(G) by false gods,[a](H)
    the gods[b] their ancestors followed,(I)
I will send fire(J) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(K) of Jerusalem.(L)
