Chapter 2
1This is what the Lord says: 'For three offenses of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. 2So I will send fire upon Moab And it will consume the citadels of Kerioth; And Moab will die amid the panic of battle, Amid war cries and the sound of a trumpet. 3I will also eliminate the judge from her midst And slay all her leaders with him,' says the Lord. 4This is what the Lord says: 'For three offenses of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because they rejected the Law of the Lord And have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, Those which their fathers followed. 5So I will send fire upon Judah, And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.' 6This is what the Lord says: 'For three offenses of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for money, And the needy for a pair of sandals.King James Version

Chapter 2
1The Lord says: I will not relent from punishing Moab for three crimes, even four, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. 2Therefore, I will send fire against Moab, and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die with a tumult, with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn. 3I will cut off the judge from the land and kill all its officials with him. The Lord has spoken.
4The Lord says: I will not relent from punishing Judah for three crimes, even four, because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord and have not kept his statutes. The lies that their ancestors followed have led them astray.
5Therefore, I will send fire against Judah, and it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.

Chapter 2
1This is what the Lord says: 'The people of Moab have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They desecrated the bones of Edom’s king, burning them to ashes. 2So I will send down fire on the land of Moab, and all the fortresses in Kerioth will be destroyed. The people will fall in the noise of battle, as the warriors shout and the ram’s horn sounds. 3And I will destroy their king and slaughter all their princes,' says the Lord.
4This is what the Lord says: 'The people of Judah have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They have rejected the instruction of the Lord, refusing to obey his decrees. They have been led astray by the same lies that deceived their ancestors.
5So I will send down fire on Judah, and all the fortresses of Jerusalem will be destroyed.'
