Amos 2:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Thus says Yahweh,
“For three transgressions of (A)Moab and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because he (B)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 (C)Kerioth;
And Moab will die amid great (D)rumbling,
Amid a loud shout and the sound of a trumpet.
3 I will also cut off the [a](E)judge from her midst
And kill all her (F)princes with him,” says Yahweh.
Punishment of Judah and Israel
4 Thus says Yahweh,
“For three transgressions of (G)Judah and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they (H)rejected the law of Yahweh
And have not kept His statutes;
Their [b](I)falsehood also has led them astray,
That which their (J)fathers walked after.
5 So I will (K)send fire upon Judah,
And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
6 Thus says Yahweh,
“For three transgressions of (L)Israel and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they (M)sell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 These who [c]pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the (N)poor
Also (O)turn aside the way of the humble;
And a (P)man and his father go to the same [d]young woman
In order to profane My holy name.
