So I will send down fire upon Judah,
    and it will devour the fortified citadels of Jerusalem.”

A Warning to Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Israel
    —and now for a fourth—
        I will not turn away;
because they sold the righteous for money,
    and the poor for sandals,
moving quickly[a] to rub the face[b] of the needy in the dirt.
Corrupting[c] the ways of the humble,
    a man and his father go to the same woman,
        deliberately defiling my holy name.
