Amos 2:4
Verse 4 of 16. The 2nd of 9 chapters in Amos, in The Minor Prophets.
1The LORD says: “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;
2but 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;
3and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
4The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
5but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6The LORD says: “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 sandals;
7They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
