Amos:2:6-16
updv@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 sandals--
updv@Amos:2:7 @ those who 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 to the [same] maiden, to profane my holy name:
updv@Amos:2:8 @ and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.
updv@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.
updv@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you(note:){+}(:note) up out of the land of Egypt, and led you{+} forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
updv@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up of your(note:){+}(:note) sons for prophets, and of your{+} young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O you{+} sons of Israel? says Yahweh.
updv@Amos:2:12 @ But you(note:){+}(:note) gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Don't prophesy.
updv@Amos:2:13 @ Look, I will press [you(note:){+}(:note)] in your{+} place, as a cart presses that is full of sheaves.
updv@Amos:2:14 @ And flight will perish from the swift; and the strong will not strengthen his force; neither will the mighty deliver himself;
updv@Amos:2:15 @ neither will he stand that handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot will not deliver [himself]; neither will he who rides the horse deliver himself;
updv@Amos:2:16 @ and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked in that day, says Yahweh.
