they failed to observe
1:11 This is what the Lord says:

in his fury he relentlessly attacked them.
1:13 This is what the Lord says:
“Because the Ammonites have committed three crimes
make that four!

so they could expand their territory.
2:4 This is what the Lord says:
“Because Judah has committed three covenant transgressions
make that four!
They rejected the Lord’s law;
they did not obey his commands.
Their false gods,
to which their fathers were loyal,
led them astray.
