Amos:2:6-16
web@Amos:2:6 @ Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
web@Amos:2:7 @ They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
web@Amos:2:8 @ and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."} they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
web@Amos:2:9 @ Yet I destroyed 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.
web@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
web@Amos:2:11 @ I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says Yahweh.
web@Amos:2:12 @ "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Don't prophesy!'
web@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
web@Amos:2:14 @ Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
web@Amos:2:15 @ neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
web@Amos:2:16 @ and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says Yahweh.
