Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of Mo᾽av, I will turn away its punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי־אֵשׁ בְּמוֹאָב וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנוֹת הַקְּרִיּוֹת וּמֵת בְּשָׁאוֹן מוֹאָב בִּתְרוּעָה בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃
but I will send a fire upon Mo᾽av, and it shall devour the palaces of Qeriyyot: and Mo᾽av shall die amidst tumult, shouting, and the sound of the shofar:

וְהִכְרַתִּי שׁוֹפֵט מִקִּרְבָּהּ וְכׇל־שָׂרֶיהָ אֶהֱרוֹג עִמּוֹ אָמַר יְהֹוָֽה׃ {פ}

על שרפו עצמות וגו'. פעם אחת נפל מלך אדום ביד מלך מואב ושרפו עצמותיו וטחום בקירות הבית ותבע הקב"ה אונאת המלך שנהגו בו בזיון:
For he burnt the bones etc.—Once the king of Edom fell into the hands of the king of Moab, and they burned his bones and plastered them on the walls of the house, and the Holy One, blessed be He, requited the injustice inflicted upon the king, for they treated him with disgrace.
