Amos:2:6-16




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!
