Amos 2:6-13
New International Version
Judgment on Israel
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not relent.(A)
They sell the innocent for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.(B)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.(C)
8 They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.(D)
In the house of their god
they drink wine(E) taken as fines.(F)
9 “Yet I destroyed the Amorites(G) before them,
though they were tall(H) as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.(I)
I destroyed their fruit above
and their roots(J) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(K)
and led(L) you forty years in the wilderness(M)
to give you the land of the Amorites.(N)
11 “I also raised up prophets(O) from among your children
and Nazirites(P) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(Q)
13 “Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(R)
