Amos 2 📜 📕 ↷
Judgment on Moab, Judah, and Israel
1 THUS saith our Lord: Upon three wickednesses of Moab, and upon four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of Idumea even to ashes.📜💬📚
2 And I will send fire into Moab, and it shall devour the house of Carioth: and Moab shall die in the sound, in the noise of the trumpet:📜💬📚
3 and I will destroy the judge out of the midst of him, and all his princes I will kill with him, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
4 Thus saith our Lord: Upon three wickednesses of Juda, and upon four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of our Lord, and not kept his commandments: for their idols have deceived them, after which their fathers went.📜💬📚
5 And I will send fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.📜💬📚
6 Thus saith our Lord: Upon three wickednesses of Israel, and upon four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just for silver, and the poor for shoes.📜💬📚
7 Which bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and decline the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to a young woman, that they might violate my holy name.📜💬📚
8 And upon garments laid to pledge they did lie beside every altar: & the wine of the condemned they drank in the house of their God.📜💬📚
9 But I did cast out the Amorrheite before their face: whose height the height of Cedars, & he strong as an oak: & I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.📜💬📚
10 It is I that made you come up out of the Land of AEgypt, and I led you in the desert forty years, that you might possess the Land of the Amorrheite.📜💬📚
11 And I raised up of your sons to be Prophets and of your young men Nazareites, is it not so o children of Israel, saith our Lord?📜💬📚
12 And you drank wine to the Nazareites: and the Prophets you commanded, saying: prophesy not.📜💬📚
13 Behold I will screak under you, as a wain screaketh laden with hay.📜💬📚
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not obtain his strength, and the strong shall not save his life.📜💬📚
15 And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of his feet shall not be saved, and the rider of the horse shall not save his life.📜💬📚
16 and the stout of heart among the valiants shall fly naked in that day, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
