View Full Chapter

4This 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 LORD and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, Or by lies the gods Or lies their ancestors followed,

5I will send fire on Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel 6This 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.

7They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.

8They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines.
