Amos:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Moab ,
and for four ,
I will not turn away ;
because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime :
*
But I will send a fire upon Moab ,
and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth :
and Moab shall die with tumult ,
with shouting ,
with the sound of the trumpet :
*
And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it and will slay all its princes with him ,
saith the LORD .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Judah ,
and for four ,
I will not turn away ;
because they have despised the law of the LORD ,
and have not kept his commandments ,
and their lies caused them to err ,
after which their fathers have walked :
*
But I will send a fire upon Judah ,
and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Israel ,
and for four ,
I will not turn away ;
because they sold the righteous for silver ,
and the poor for a pair of shoes ;
*
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 to the maid ,
to profane my holy name : (

And they lay down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar ,
and they drink the wine of the condemned the house of their god . (

*
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them ,
whose height like the height of the cedars ,
and he strong as the oaks ;
yet I destroyed his fruit from above ,
and his roots from beneath .
*
Also I brought you from the land of Egypt ,
and led you forty years through the wilderness ,
to possess the land of the Amorite .
*
And I raised up of your sons for prophets ,
and of your young men for Nazarites .
not even thus ,
O ye children of Israel ?
saith the LORD .
*
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink ;
and commanded the prophets ,
saying ,
Prophesy not .
*
Behold ,
I am pressed under you ,
as a cart is pressed full of sheaves . (

Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift ,
and the strong shall not strengthen his force ,
neither shall the mighty deliver himself : (

And courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day ,
saith the LORD . (
