Amo 2:3

Amo 2:3And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.

Amo 2:4

Amo 2:4Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk,

Amo 2:5

Amo 2:5And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.

Amo 2:6

Amo 2:6Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals.

Amo 2:7

Amo 2:7Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.

Amo 2:8

Amo 2:8And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink in the house of their gods.

Amo 2:10

Amo 2:10And I -- I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.

Amo 2:12

Amo 2:12And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, 'Do not prophecy!'

Amo 2:13

Amo 2:13Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf.

Amo 2:14

Amo 2:14And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.

Amo 2:15

Amo 2:15And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not himself, And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul.

Amo 2:16

Amo 2:16And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah!
