The Book of Amos 2

2 This is what Yahweh says:

“For three sins of Moab,

even for four,

I will not turn away punishment,

because he burned the bones

of the king of Edom to lime.

2 I will send fire on Moab,

and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth.

Moab will die in an uproar,

with shouting and the sound of the horn.

3 I will destroy the judge in her,

and I will kill all the princes with him,”

says Yahweh.

4 This is what Yahweh says:

“For three sins of Judah,

even for four,

I will not turn away punishment,

because they rejected the law of Yahweh

and did not keep his statutes.

Their lies caused them to go astray,

after which their fathers had also walked.

5 I will send fire on Judah,

and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”

6 This is what Yahweh says:

“For three sins of Israel,

even for four,

I will not turn away punishment,

because they sold the innocent for silver

and the needy for a pair of sandals.

7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the ground;

they thrust aside the way of the oppressed.

A man and his father go in to the same girl

and so profane my holy name.

8 They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges,

and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them,

whose height was like the height of cedars;

he was strong as the oaks.

Yet I destroyed his fruit above

and his roots below.

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 Amorites.

11 I raised up prophets from among your sons

and Nazirites from your young men.

Is it not so,

sons of Israel?—

this is Yahweh’s declaration.

12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine

and commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’

13 Behold, I will crush you

as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.

14 A place of refuge will be lost by the swift;

the strong will not add to his own strength;

neither will the mighty save himself.

15 The one who holds the bow will not stand;

the one who is swift with his feet will not escape;

the one who rides the horse will not escape with his life.

16 Even the bravest warriors

will flee naked in that day—

this is Yahweh’s declaration.”
