Amos:2:6-16
asv@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.
