Thus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha’im of Yehudah, even for arba’ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the torat Hashem, and have not been shomer over His chukkim, and their lies caused them to err, after the halakhah of their avot;

I will destroy her ruler(A)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(B)
says the Lord.(C)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,(D)
    even for four, I will not relent.
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)

I will send fire(J) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(K) of Jerusalem.(L)
