Amos 2:1-8

2¹ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime; ² but I will send a fire on Moab,
and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth;
and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet; ³ and I will cut off the judge from their midst,
and will kill all its princes with him,”
says Yahweh. ⁴ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they have rejected Yahweh’s law,
and have not kept his statutes,
and their lies have led them astray,
after which their fathers walked; ⁵ But I will send a fire on Judah,
and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”

The Judgment on Israel

⁶ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they have sold the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of shoes; ⁷ They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,
and deny justice to the oppressed;
and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name; ⁸ and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge;
and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
