Amos 2:6-12
Amos 2:6-12 TPT
YAHWEH says this: “For the three terrible crimes of Israel— no, make that four— I will not turn back my wrath. For a few pieces of silver, they sold honest people into slavery. They even sold the poor, who couldn’t pay their debts, for a pair of sandals. They trample the poor and helpless into the dirt and shove aside the rights of the destitute. A son and his father have sex with the same woman, and by doing so, they profane my holy name. They lay themselves down beside every altar on garments taken as security for debts, and in the house of God they drink the wine they got from those who have been fined. “Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorites before your very eyes. They stood as tall as cedar trees and as strong as oaks. I destroyed them root and branch. It was I who brought you up from Egypt and led you for forty years through the desert to possess the land of the Amorites. I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. People of Israel, is this not true? I, YAHWEH, have spoken! “But you made the Nazirites drink wine and break their vow. You ordered the prophets, ‘You’d better not prophesy.’
