Amos 2:4-6

Good News Translation

Judah

⁴ The Lord says, “The people of Judah have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. They have despised my teachings and have not kept my commands. They have been led astray by the same false gods that their ancestors served. ⁵ So I will send fire upon Judah and burn down the fortresses of Jerusalem.”

God's Judgment on Israel

⁶ The Lord says, “The people of Israel have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. They sell into slavery honest people who cannot pay their debts, the poor who cannot repay even the price of a pair of sandals.
