4  Thus saith the Lord;

aFor three transgressions of Judah,

aAnd for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

iBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,

And ihave not kept his commandments,

And ktheir lies caused them to err,

lAfter the which their fathers have walked:

5  dBut mI will send a fire upon Judah,

dAnd mit shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

6  Thus saith the Lord;

aFor three transgressions of Israel,

aAnd for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because nthey sold the righteous ofor silver,

oAnd the poor for a pair of shoes;

7  pThat pant after qthe dust of the earth on the head of the poor,

And rturn aside the way of the meek:

And sa man and his father will go in unto the same ||maid,

tTo profane my holy name:

8  And they lay themselves down upon uclothes laid to pledge vby every altar,

And they drink the wine of ||wthe condemned vin the house of their god.
