I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will slay all its princes with him,
    says the Lord.

Judgment Against Judah

Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept His commandments.
The lies which their fathers followed
    have led them astray.
So I will send fire against Judah,
    and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.

“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)
I will send fire(J) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(K) of Jerusalem.(L)
