Amos 2:4 Thus saith559 the LORD;3068 For three7969 transgressions6588 of Judah,3063 and for four,702 I will not turn away7725thepunishment thereof; because they have despised3988 the law8451 of the LORD,3068 and have not kept8104 his commandments,2706 and their lies3577 caused them to err,8582 after310 the which their fathers1 have walked:19805 But I will send7971 a fire784 upon Judah,3063 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 of Jerusalem.3389
Amos 2:6 Thus saith559 the LORD;3068 For three7969 transgressions6588 of Israel,3478 and for four,702 I will not turn away7725thepunishment thereof; because they sold4376 the righteous6662 for silver,3701 and the poor34 for a pair of shoes;52757 That pant7602 after the dust6083 of the earth776 on the head7218 of the poor,1800 and turn aside5186 the way1870 of the meek:6035 and a man376 and his father1 will go3212 in unto the same maid,5291{Or, young woman} to profane2490 my holy6944 name:80348 And they lay themselves down5186 upon clothes899 laid to pledge2254 by681 every altar,4196 and they drink8354 the wine3196 of the condemned6064{Or, such as have fined or mulcted}in the house1004 of their god.430
Amos 2:9 Yet destroyed8045 I the Amorite567 before6440 them, whose height1363was like the height1363 of the cedars,730 and he was strong2634 as the oaks;437 yet I destroyed8045 his fruit6529 from above,4605 and his roots8328 from beneath.
