Amos - Chapter 2

1Thus said Hashem: For three transgressions of Moab, For four, I will not revoke it: Because he burned the bones Of the king of Edom to lime.

2I will send down fire upon Moab, And it shall devour the fortresses of Kerioth. And Moab shall die in tumult, Amid shouting and the blare of shofarot;

3I will wipe out the ruler from within her And slay all her officials along with him —said Hashem.

4Thus said Hashem: For three transgressions of Yehuda, For four, I will not revoke it: Because they have spurned the Teaching of Hashem And have not observed His laws; They are beguiled by the delusions After which their fathers walked.

5I will send down fire upon Yehuda, And it shall devour the fortresses of Yerushalayim.

6Thus said Hashem: For three transgressions of Yisrael, For four, I will not revoke it: Because they have sold for silver Those whose cause was just, And the needy for a pair of sandals.

7Ah,] you who trample the heads of the poor Into the dust of the ground, And make the humble walk a twisted course! Father and son go to the same girl, And thereby profane My holy name.

8They recline by every altar On garments taken in pledge, And drink in the House of their God Wine bought with fines they imposed.

9Yet I Destroyed the Amorite before them, Whose stature was like the cedar's And who was stout as the oak, Destroying his boughs above And his trunk below!

10And I Brought you up from the land of Egypt And led you through the wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite!

11And I raised up Neviim from among your sons And nazirites from among your young men. Is that not so, O people of Yisrael? —says Hashem.

12But you made the nazirites drink wine And ordered the Neviim not to prophesy.
