Amos 2:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 2:1

1 Thus says the Lord:
^a“For three transgressions of Moab, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he ^bburned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

2 But I will send a fire upon Moab,
And it shall devour the palaces of ^aKerioth;
Moab shall die with tumult,
With shouting and trumpet sound.

3 And I will cut off ^athe judge from its midst,
And slay all its princes with him,”
Says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
^bBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
^cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies ^dwhich their fathers followed.

5 ^aBut I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
