                                                               Lies which their fathers followed.
                     11                                     5  But I will send a fire upon Judah,

                           and for four,
                        I will not turn away its punishment,  6 Thus says the LORD:
                        Because he pursued his brother with   “For three transgressions of Israel,
                           the sword,                            and for four,

                      Thus says the LORD:
                     13                                        And pervert the way of the humble.
