Amos 2
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
For
three
transgressions
of
a
Moab,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
he
burned
the
bones
of
the
king
of
Edom
into
lime:
2 But
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Moab,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Kerioth:
and
Moab
shall
die
with
tumult,
with
shouting,
and
with
the
sound
of
the
trumpet:
3 And
I
will
cut
off
the
judge
from
the
midst
thereof,
and
will
slay
all
the
princes
thereof
with
him,
saith
the
Lord.
4 Thus
saith
the
Lord;
For
three
transgressions
of
Judah,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
have
a
despised
the
law
of
the
Lord,
and
have
not
kept
his
commandments,
and
their
lies
caused
them
to
err,
after
the
which
their
fathers
have
walked:
5 But
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Judah,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Jerusalem.
6 Thus
saith
the
Lord;
For
three
transgressions
of
Israel,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
a
sold
the
righteous
for
silver,
and
the
poor
for
a
pair
of
shoes;
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
unto
the
same
maid,
to
a
profane
my
holy
name:
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.
9 Yet
a
destroyed
I
the
Amorite
before
them,
whose
height
was
like
the
height
of
the
cedars,
and
he
was
strong
as
the
oaks;
yet
I
destroyed
his
fruit
from
above,
and
his
roots
from
beneath.
10 Also
I
a
brought
you
up
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
led
you
b
forty
years
through
the
wilderness,
to
possess
the
land
of
the
Amorite.
11 And
I
raised
up
of
your
sons
for
prophets,
and
of
your
young
men
for
a
Nazarites.
Is
it
not
even
thus,
O
ye
children
of
Israel?
saith
the
Lord.
12 But
ye
gave
the
Nazarites
wine
to
drink;
and
commanded
the
prophets,
saying,
Prophesy
not.
13 Behold,
I
am
pressed
under
you,
as
a
cart
is
pressed
that
is
full
of
sheaves.
14 Therefore
the
a
flight
shall
perish
from
the
b
swift,
and
the
strong
shall
not
strengthen
his
force,
neither
shall
the
mighty
c
deliver
himself:
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
a
deliver
himself.
16 And
he
that
is
courageous
among
the
mighty
shall
flee
away
naked
in
that
day,
saith
the
Lord.
