Amos 2:4-13
4This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:
“ForH5921 threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, evenH5921 fourH702,I will notH3808 revokeH7725 My judgment,becauseH5921 they rejectH3988 the LawH8451 of the LORDH3068and failH3808 to keepH8104 His statutesH2706;they are led astrayH8582 by the liesH3577in whichH834 their fathersH1 walkedH1980H310.5So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon JudahH3063to consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of JerusalemH3389.”
6This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:
“ForH5921 threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, evenH5921 fourH702,I will notH3808 revokeH7725 My judgment,becauseH5921 they sellH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701and the needyH34 forH5668 a pair of sandalsH5275.7They trampleH7602 on the headsH7218 of the poorH1800as onH5921 the dustH6083 of the earthH776;they pushH5186 the needyH6035 out of their wayH1870.A manH376 and his fatherH1have relations withH1980H413 the same girlH5291and soH4616 profaneH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034.8They lie downH5186 besideH681 everyH3605 altarH4196onH5921 garmentsH899 taken in pledgeH2254.And in the houseH1004 of their GodH430,1they drinkH8354 wineH3196 obtained through finesH6064.2
9Yet it was IH595 who destroyedH8045the AmoriteH567 before themH6440,thoughH834 his heightH1363 was like that ofH1363 the cedarsH730,and he wasH1931 as strongH2634 as the oaksH437.Yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 aboveH4605and his rootsH8328 belowH8478.10And IH595 broughtH5927 you upH853 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714and ledH1980 youH853 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057,that you might take possessionH3423of the landH776 of the AmoriteH567.11I raised upH6965 prophetsH5030 from your sonsH1121and NaziritesH5139 from your young menH970.Is thisH2063 notH369 trueH637,O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.12“But you made the NaziritesH5139 drinkH8248 wineH3196H5921and commandedH6680H559 the prophetsH5030 notH3808 to prophesyH5012.13BeholdH2009, IH595 am about to crush youH5781 in your placeH8478asH834 with a cartH5699 fullH4392 of grainH5995.
