1Thus says Yahweh: “For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke it, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.”

2So I will send fire upon Moab, and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth; and Moab will die amid tumult, amid shouting, amid the sound of a trumpet.

3And I will cut off the judge from her midst, and I will kill all her officials with him,” says Yahweh.
