Amos:2:6 @
Thus saith Jehovah :
For three transgressions of Israel ,
yea ,
for four ,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof ;
because they have sold the righteous for silver ,
and the needy for a pair of shoes -
asv @
Amos:2:7 @
they 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 go unto the same maiden ,
to profane my holy name :
asv @
Amos:2:8 @
and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge ;
and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined .
asv @
Amos:2:9 @
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 .
asv @
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 .
asv @
Amos:2:11 @
And I raised up of your sons for prophets ,
and of your young men for Nazirites .
Is it not even thus ,
O ye children of Israel ?
saith Jehovah .
asv @
Amos:2:12 @
But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink ,
and commanded the prophets ,
saying ,
Prophesy not .
asv @
Amos:2:13 @
Behold ,
I will press you in your place ,
as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves .
asv @
Amos:2:14 @
And flight shall perish from the swift ;
and the strong shall not strengthen his force ;
neither shall the mighty deliver himself ;
asv @
Amos:2:15 @
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 ;
asv @
Amos:2:16 @
and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day ,
saith Jehovah .
