Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, - which shall devour the palaces thereof;

Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, - which shall devour the palaces thereof.

Therefore will I send a fire into Teman, - which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah, which shall devour the palaces thereof, - with a war-cry in the day of battle, with tempest in the day of storm-wind;

Therefore will I send a fire into Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Kerioth - and Moab, shall die with tumult, with war- cry, with the sound of a horn;

Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Judah, and because of four, will I not turn it back, - Because they have rejected the law of Yahweh, and, his statutes, have not kept, but their falsehoods, have led them astray, after the which their fathers, did walk,

Therefore will I send a fire upon Judah, - which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, - concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: -

Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, - for, so, ye love to have it , ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

Hear ye this word, which, I, am taking up concerning you - even a dirge, O house of Israel.

For, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, The city that goeth out a thousand strong, shall have left it a hundred, - And, that which goeth out a hundred strong, shall have left it ten, belonging to the house of Israel.

But ye carried the tent of your king-idol, and your Saturn-images, - the star of your gods, which ye made for yourselves:

Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! My Lord Yahweh proclaiming that, the controversy should be settled by fire, - which, having devoured the mighty roaring deep, should devour the inheritance.

So will I plant them upon their own soil, - and will not uproot them any more from off their own soil, which I have given to them, saith Yahweh thy God.
