Amos 2:1-7 ▼

1 Thus says Yahweh, “For three transgressions of Moab and for four I will not turn back its punishment Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

2 So I will send fire upon Moab, And it will consume the citadels of Kerioth; And Moab will die amid great rumbling, Amid a loud shout and the sound of a trumpet.

3 I will also cut off the judge from her midst And kill all her princes with him,” says Yahweh.

4 Thus says Yahweh, “For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not turn back its punishment Because they rejected the law of Yahweh And have not kept His statutes; Their falsehood also has led them astray, That which their fathers walked after.

5 So I will send fire upon Judah, And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”

6 Thus says Yahweh, “For three transgressions of Israel and for four I will not turn back its punishment Because they sell the righteous for money And the needy for a pair of sandals.

7 These who pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the poor Also turn aside the way of the humble; And a man and his father go to the same young woman In order to profane My holy name.
