Amo 2:5And I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Amo 2:6Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

Amo 2:10And I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Amo 2:11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.
Amo 2:12And ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Amo 2:13Behold, I will press upon you, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
Amo 2:14And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul.
Amo 2:15Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and the swift of foot shall not escape, and he that rideth the horse shall not deliver his soul;
Amo 2:16and he that is stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
