Amos 2
2
1Thus says Adonai: For three crimes of Moab even for four, I will not relent. For he burned the bones of Edom’s king to lime,
2So I will send fire upon Moab— it will devour Kerioth’s citadels. Moab will die in an uproar, with a shout of alarm and the sound of the shofar.
3I will cut off the ruler from her midst, and slay all her princes with him. Thus Adonai has said. As for Judah and Israel
4Thus says Adonai: “For three crimes of Judah even for four, I will not relent. For they despise Adonai’s Torah and have not kept His statutes. Their lies have misled them— those their fathers walked after.
5So I will send fire upon Judah— it will devour Jerusalem’s citadels.”
6Thus says Adonai: “For three crimes of Israel even for four, I will not relent. For they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes.
7They trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth and thwart the way of the humble. A man and his father go to the same girl, to profane My holy Name.
8Upon garments taken in pledge they stretch out beside every altar, and drink wine confiscated as fines in the house of their gods.
9“I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like cedars and as strong as oaks— yes, I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.
10 It was I also who brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the Amorite’s land.
11I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is this not so, Bnei Yisrael?” declares Adonai.
12“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and you commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy.’
13Behold! I will cause a tottering beneath you as a cart totters when full of sheaves.
14Then flight will fail for the swift. The mighty will not strengthen his power, The warrior will not save his life.
15The archer will not stand, the fleet-footed will not escape, the horseman will not save himself.
16The valiant among the warriors will flee naked in that day.” declares Adonai.

Amos 2
1¶ Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Moab and for the fourth, I will not convert her because she burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2but I will send fire in Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die in tumult, with shouting and with the sound of the shofar:
3and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof and will slay all the princes thereof with him, said the Lord.
4Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Judah and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they have despised the law of the Lord and have not kept his statutes, and their lies caused them to err after which their fathers have walked:
5but I will send fire in Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Israel and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they sold the righteous for silver and the poor for a pair of shoes,
7desiring that there be dust of the earth upon the head of the poor, and to twist the way of the humble: and the man and his father have gone in unto the same maid, profaning my holy name:
8and they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by any altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9¶ Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as an oak; yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.
10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years through the wilderness that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
11And I raised up of your sons for prophets and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye sons of Israel? said the Lord.
12But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Do not prophesy.
13Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul:
15neither shall he that handles the bow stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rides the horse save his life.
16And he that is strong among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, said the Lord.
