Amos 2

2Thus saith the Lord;

^aFor three transgressions of ^bMoab,

^aAnd for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

^cBecause he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

^2dBut I will send a fire upon Moab,

^dAnd it shall devour the palaces of ^eKerioth:

And Moab shall die with ^ftumult,

^gWith shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

³And I will cut off ^hthe judge from the midst thereof,

And will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.

⁴Thus saith the Lord;

^aFor three transgressions of Judah,

^aAnd for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

ⁱBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,

And ⁱhave not kept his commandments,

And ^ktheir lies caused them to err,

^lAfter the which their fathers have walked:

^5dBut ^mI will send a fire upon Judah,

^dAnd ^mit shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

⁶Thus saith the Lord;

^aFor three transgressions of Israel,

^aAnd for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because ⁿthey sold the righteous ^ofor silver,

^oAnd the poor for a pair of shoes;

^7pThat pant after ^qthe dust of the earth on the head of the poor,

And ^rturn aside the way of the meek:

And ^sa man and his father will go in unto the same ^||maid,

^tTo profane my holy name:

⁸And they lay themselves down upon ^uclothes laid to pledge ^vby every altar,

And they drink the wine of ^||wthe condemned ^vin the house of their god.

⁹Yet ^xdestroyed I the Amorite before them,

^yWhose height was like the height of the cedars,

And he was strong as ^yythe oaks;

Yet ^zI destroyed his fruit from above,

And ^zhis roots from beneath.

¹⁰Also ^aI brought you up from the land of Egypt,

And ^bled you forty years through the wilderness,

^cTo possess the land of the Amorite.

¹¹And I raised up of your sons for prophets,

And of your young men for ^dNazarites.

Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

¹²But ^eye gave the Nazarites wine to drink;

And commanded the prophets, ^fsaying, Prophesy not.

¹³Behold, ^||hI am pressed under you,

As a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

¹⁴Therefore ⁱthe flight shall perish from ^jkthe swift,

And ^jlthe strong shall not strengthen his force,

^mNeither shall the mighty deliver ^†himself:

¹⁵Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow;

And he that is ^knswift of foot shall not deliver himself:

^joNeither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

¹⁶And he that is ^†courageous among ^pthe mighty

Shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
