Amos 2:2
Compare all
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.”  

Judgment on Israel

6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aIsrael, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because bthey sell the righteous for silver,
And the cpoor for a pair of sandals. 
7 They1 pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And apervert the way of the humble.
bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
cTo defile My holy name.
