4 This is what the Lord says:‘For three sins of Judah,even for four, I will not relent.Because they have rejected the law of the Lordand have not kept his decrees,because they have been led astray by false gods,the gods their ancestors followed,
5 I will send fire on Judahthat will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.’
6 This is what the Lord says:‘For three sins of Israel,even for four, I will not relent.They sell the innocent for silver,and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 They trample on the heads of the pooras on the dust of the groundand deny justice to the oppressed.Father and son use the same girland so profane my holy name.
8 They lie down beside every altaron garments taken in pledge.In the house of their godthey drink wine taken as fines.
9 ‘Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them,though they were tall as the cedarsand strong as the oaks.I destroyed their fruit aboveand their roots below.
10 I brought you up out of Egyptand led you for forty years in the wildernessto give you the land of the Amorites.
