Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,

And have not kept His commandments.
cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies dwhich their fathers followed.

Lies dwhich their fathers followed.
5 aBut I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”

And the cpoor for a pair of sandals.

And apervert the way of the humble.
bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
cTo defile My holy name.

And drink the wine of1 the condemned in the house of their god.
And drink the wine of1 the condemned in the house of their god.
