Amos 2

1Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 its punishment ; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875: 2But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon 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 cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 of it and will slayH2026 all its princesH8269 with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068. 4Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 their punishment ; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980: 5But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389. 6Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 their punishment ; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; 7That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in to the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034:1 8And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430.2

9Yet I destroyedH8045 the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose 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 beneath. 10Also I brought youH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ledH3212 you fortyH705 yearsH8141 through the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567. 11And I raised upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your young menH970 for NazaritesH5139. Is it not even thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 12But ye gave the NazaritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not. 13Behold, I am pressedH5781 under you, as a cartH5699 is pressedH5781 that is fullH4392 of sheavesH5995.3 14Therefore the flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his forceH3581, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315:4 15Neither shall he standH5975 that handlethH8610 the bowH7198; and he that is swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall not deliverH4422 himself : neither shall he that ridethH7392 the horseH5483 deliverH4422 himselfH5315. 16And he that is courageousH533H3820 among the mightyH1368 shall flee awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.5
