I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will slay all its princes with him,”
                says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept his statutes,
but their lies have led them astray,
    after which their fathers walked.
So I will send a fire upon Judah,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

    the gods[b] their ancestors followed,(I)
I will send fire(J) on Judah
