Amos 2:8-10
Contemporary English Version
Amos 2:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 They lie down beside altars
on clothes taken
as security for loans.
And they drink wine in my temple,
wine bought with the money
they received from fines.
9 (A) Israel, the Amorites[a] were there
when you entered Canaan.
They were tall as cedars
and strong as oaks.
But I wiped them out—
I destroyed their branches
and their roots.
10 I had rescued you from Egypt,
and for forty years I had led you
through the desert.
Then I gave you the land
of the Amorites.
Footnotes
- 2.9 Amorites: This word is used for all the people who lived in Canaan at the time Israel took over the land.
