Amo 2:3I will cut off the ruler from its midst, and will slay all its princes with him," says the LORD.

Amo 2:4

Amo 2:4Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked.

Amo 2:5

Amo 2:5So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem."

Amo 2:6

Amo 2:6Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes--

Amo 2:7

Amo 2:7they that trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same maiden, so that my holy name is profaned;

Amo 2:8

Amo 2:8they lay themselves down beside every altar upon garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

Amo 2:9

Amo 2:9"Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.

Amo 2:10

Amo 2:10Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

Amo 2:11

Amo 2:11And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" says the LORD.

Amo 2:12

Amo 2:12"But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'You shall not prophesy.'

Amo 2:13

Amo 2:13"Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.

Amo 2:14

Amo 2:14Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;

Amo 2:15

Amo 2:15he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;

Amo 2:16

Amo 2:16and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," says the LORD.
