The Book of the Prophet Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 Therefore I will send fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with a great noise, with a shout, with the sound of the trumpet.
3 And I will remove the judge from among them, and I will kill all their princes with him, says the Lord.
4 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his statutes, but have let him be led astray by their own lies, after which their fathers walked.
5 Therefore I will send fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7 They pant for the dust of the earth on the heads of the poor, and they turn aside the way of the meek; and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
8 They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their gods they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and whose strength was like that of the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots below.
10 I also brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up prophets from among your sons, and Nazirites from among your young men. Is this not so, children of Israel? says the Lord.
12 But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and you commanded the prophets, saying, “Do not prophesy.”
13 Behold, I will press you into your place as one presses a cart full of sticks.
14 So the swift will not flee; the strong will not strengthen his strength, nor will the mighty deliver his life.
15 And he who carries the bow will not stand, nor will the swift of foot escape, nor will he who rides a horse deliver his soul.
16 And the most courageous among the mighty will flee naked on that day, says the Lord.
