Amos 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And I will cut off the judge out of the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.
4 ¶ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, [a]I will not turn to it, because they have cast away the Law of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err after the which their fathers have walked.
5 Therefore will I send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

Amos 2:3-5
New International Version
4 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Judah,(D)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(E) of the Lord
and have not kept his decrees,(F)
because they have been led astray(G) by false gods,[a](H)
the gods[b] their ancestors followed,(I)
5 I will send fire(J) on Judah
that will consume the fortresses(K) of Jerusalem.(L)”
