“So I will (A)send fire upon Judah
And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of (B)Israel and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they (C)sell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
“These who [a]pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the (D)helpless
Also (E)turn aside the way of the humble;
And a (F)man and his father [b]resort to the same [c]girl
In order to profane My holy name.
