Amos 2:4-13

4ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 1JudahH3063 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they 2rejectedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LordH3068 And have not keptH8104 His statutesH2706; Their 34liesH3577 also have ledH8582 them astrayH8582, Those afterH310 whichH834 their 5fathersH1 walkedH1980.5So I will 6sendH7971 fireH784 upon JudahH3063 And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of JerusalemH3389.”

6ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 7IsraelH3478 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they 8sellH4376 the righteousH6662 for moneyH3701 And the needyH34 for a pair of sandalsH5275.7These who 9pantH7602 afterH5921 the very dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the 10helplessH1800 Also 11turnH5186 asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the humbleH6035; And a 12manH376 and his fatherH1 13resortH1980 to the same 14girlH5291 In orderH4616 to profaneH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034.8On garmentsH899 15takenH2254 as pledgesH2254 they stretchH5186 out besideH681 16everyH3605 altarH4196, And in the houseH1004 of their GodH430 they 17drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of those who have been finedH6064.

9“Yet it was I who destroyedH8045 the 18AmoriteH567 beforeH4480H6440 them, 19Though his 20heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of cedarsH730 And he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; I even destroyedH8045 his 21fruitH6529 aboveH4480H4605 and his rootH8328 belowH4480H8478.10It was I who 22broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, And I ledH1980 you in the wildernessH4057 23fortyH705 yearsH8141 24That you might takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 of the 25AmoriteH567.11Then I 26raisedH6965 up someH4480 of your sonsH1121 to be prophetsH5030 And someH4480 of your youngH970 menH970 to be 27NaziritesH5139. Is thisH2088 not soH637, O sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.12“But you made the NaziritesH5139 drinkH8248 wineH3196, And you commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030 sayingH559, ‘You 28shall not prophesyH5012!’13BeholdH2009, I am 2930weightedH5781 downH5781 beneathH8478 you As a wagonH5699 31is weightedH5781 downH5781 when filledH4392 with sheavesH5995.
