“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.”
