Amos 2
Revised Version 1895
1ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 intoH5921 limeH7875: 2but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 uponH784 MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152; and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782: 3and I will cutH3772 offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 allH3605 the princesH8269 thereof with him, saith the LORDH3068. 4ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they have rejectedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have notH3808 keptH8104 his statutesH2706, and their liesH3577 have causedH834 them to errH8582, afterH310 the whichH834 their fathersH1 didH834 walkH1980: 5but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 uponH784 JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389. 6ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they have soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701 and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275: 7that pant afterH5921 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turnH5186 asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meek: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH2490 unto the sameH853 maid, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: 8and they lay themselvesH5921 downH5186 besideH5921 everyH3605 altarH4196 uponH5921 clothesH899 taken in pledge, and in the houseH1004 of their GodH430 they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of suchH3605 as have been finedH6064. 9Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whoseH834 heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneathH8478. 10Also I broughtH5927 youH853 upH5927 outH3423 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and led youH853 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567. 11And I raisedH6965 upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your youngH1121 menH970 for NaziritesH5139. Is it notH369 evenH637 thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saith the LORDH3068. 12But ye gaveH6680 the NaziritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 notH3808. 13BeholdH2009, I will press youH834 in your placeH8478, as a cartH5699 presseth that is fullH4395 of sheavesH5995. 14And flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall notH3808 strengthenH553 his force, neitherH3808 shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: 15neitherH3808 shall he standH5975 that handleth the bowH7198; and he that is swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall notH3808 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: neitherH3808 shall he that rideth the horseH5483 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: 16and he that is courageous among the mightyH1368 shall fleeH5127 awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068.
