Book 30 : AMOS - Chapter 002
002:001
But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the
palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with
shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet
002:002
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will
slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD
002:003
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because
they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his
commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the
which their fathers have walked
002:004
But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the
palaces of Jerusalem
002:005
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because
they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of
shoes
002:006
That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,
and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father
will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name
002:007
And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by
every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the
house of their god
002:008
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like
the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I
destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath
002:009
Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you
forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the
Amorite
002:010
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young
men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of
Israel? saith the LORD
002:011
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the
prophets, saying, Prophesy not
002:012
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is
full of sheaves
002:013
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the
strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the
mighty deliver himself
002:014
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is
swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that
rideth the horse deliver himself
002:015
And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away
naked in that day, saith the LORD
