Amos 2:1-16 NASB

[1] This is what the Lord says: “For three offenses of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. [2] “So I will send fire upon Moab And it will consume the citadels of Kerioth; And Moab will die amid the panic of battle, Amid war cries and the sound of a trumpet. [3] “I will also eliminate the judge from her midst And slay all her leaders with him,” says the Lord. [4] This is what the Lord says: “For three offenses of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because they rejected the Law of the Lord And have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, Those which their fathers followed. [5] “So I will send fire upon Judah, And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.” [6] This is what the Lord says: “For three offenses of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for money, And the needy for a pair of sandals. [7] “These who trample the head of the helpless to the dust of the earth Also divert the way of the humble; And a man and his father resort to the same girl So as to profane My holy name. [8] “And on garments seized as pledges they stretch out beside every altar, And in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined. [9] “Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Though his height was like the height of cedars And he was as strong as the oaks; I also destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. [10] “And it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the wilderness for forty years So that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite. [11] “Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, And some of your young men to be Nazirites. Is this not so, you sons of Israel?” declares the Lord. [12] “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, And you commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy!’ [13] “Behold, I am making a rut in the ground beneath you, Just as a wagon makes a rut when filled with sheaves. [14] “Refuge will be lost from the swift, And the strong will not strengthen his power, Nor the warrior save his life. [15] “The one who grasps the bow will not stand his ground, The swift of foot will not escape, Nor will the one who rides the horse save his life. [16] “Even the bravest among the warriors will flee naked on that day,” declares the Lord.
