‏ Amos 2

1 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it;because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime. 2 But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities:and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet. 3 And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord. 4 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will notturn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances,and their vainidols which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err. 5 And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem. 6 Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away fromhim; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals, 7 wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of thepoor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid,that they might profane the name of their God. 8 And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, andthey have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God. 9 Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height ofa cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 10 And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert fortyyears, that you⌃ should inherit the land of the Amorites. 11 And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are notthese things so, you⌃ sons of Israel? says the Lord. 12 But you⌃ gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you⌃ commanded the prophets, saying,Prophesy not. 13 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled. 14 And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength,and the warrior shall not save his life: 15 and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape;and the horseman shall not save his life. 16 And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day,says the Lord.
