ylt @Amos:2:6 @Thus said Jehovah : For three transgressions of Israel , And for four , I do not reverse it , Because of their selling for silver the righteous , And the needy for a pair of sandals . ylt @Amos:2:7 @Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor , And the way of the humble they turn aside , And a man and his father go unto the damsel , So as to pollute My holy name . ylt @Amos:2:8 @And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar , And the wine of fined ones they drink [in ] the house of their gods . ylt @Amos:2:9 @And I -- I have destroyed the Amorite from before them , Whose height [is ] as the height of cedars , And strong he [is ] as the oaks , And I destroy his fruit from above , And his roots from beneath . ylt @Amos:2:10 @And I -- I have brought you up from the land of Egypt , And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years , To possess the land of the Amorite . ylt @Amos:2:11 @And I raise of your sons for prophets , And of your choice ones for Nazarites , Is not this true , O sons of Israel ? An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Amos:2:12 @And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine , And on the prophets ye have laid a charge , Saying , 'Do not prophecy !' ylt @Amos:2:13 @Lo , I am pressing you under , As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf . ylt @Amos:2:14 @And perished hath refuge from the swift , And the strong strengtheneth not his power , And the mighty delivereth not his soul . ylt @Amos:2:15 @And the handler of the bow standeth not , And the swift with his feet delivereth not [himself ], And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul . ylt @Amos:2:16 @And the courageous of heart among the mighty , Naked doth flee in that day , An affirmation of Jehovah !
