Amo2:1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away [his punishment]: because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Amo2:2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:
Amo2:3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it, and will slay all its princes with him, saith the LORD.
Amo2:4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked:
Amo2:5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Amo2:6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Amo2:7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
Amo2:8 And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of their god.
Amo2:9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose hight [was] like the hight of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Amo2:10 Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Amo2:11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Amo2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Amo2:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.
Amo2:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Amo2:15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
Amo2:16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
