Amos Capítulo 2

2 : 1 Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

2 : 2 But I will send a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

2 : 3 And I will cut off the judge from the middle thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, said the LORD.

2 : 4 Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

2 : 5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

2 : 6 Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

2 : 7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the same maid, to profane my holy name:

2 : 8 And they lay themselves down on clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

2 : 9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

2 : 10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

2 : 11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O you children of Israel? said the LORD.

2 : 12 But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

2 : 13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

2 : 14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

2 : 15 Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself.

2 : 16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, said the LORD.
