Amos 2:4-13

4ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 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 whichH834 their 5fathersH1 followedH1980H310.5So I will 6sendH7971 fireH784 upon JudahH3063, And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of JerusalemH3389.”

6ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 of 7IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they 8sellH4376 the righteousH6662 for 9moneyH3701, And the needyH34 for a pair of sandalsH5275.7These who 10trampleH7602 the headH7218 of the 11helplessH1800 to the dustH6083 of the earthH776 Also 12divertH5186 the wayH1870 of the humbleH6035; And a 13manH376 and his fatherH1 14resortH1980 to the same 15girlH5291 SoH4616 asH4616 to profaneH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034.8And on garmentsH899 16seizedH2254 asH2254 pledgesH2254 they stretchH5186 outH5186 besideH681 17everyH3605 altarH4196, And in the houseH1004 of their GodH430 they 18drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of those who have been finedH6064.

9“Yet it was I who destroyedH8045 the 19AmoriteH567 beforeH4480H6440 them, 20Though his 21heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of cedarsH730 And he was as strongH2634 as the oaksH437; I also destroyedH8045 his 22fruitH6529 aboveH4480H4605 and his rootsH8328 belowH4480H8478.10And it was I who 23broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, And ledH1980 you in the wildernessH4057 for 24fortyH705 yearsH8141 So that you might takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 of the 25AmoriteH567.11Then I 26raisedH6965 upH6965 someH4480 of your sonsH1121 to be prophetsH5030, And someH4480 of your youngH970 menH970 to be 27NaziritesH5139. Is thisH2088 not soH637, you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.12“But you madeH8248 the NaziritesH5139 drinkH8248 wineH3196, And you commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ‘You 28shall not prophesyH5012!’13BeholdH2009, I am 29makingH5781 aH5781 rutH5781 in the ground beneathH8478 you, JustH3512 asH3512 a wagonH5699 makesH5781 aH5781 rutH5781 when filledH4392 with sheavesH5995.
