ABP - Amos - 2

2:1  Thus says the lord, For the three impious deeds of Moab, even for four, I shall not turn away from it. Because they incinerated the bones of the king of Edom into powder.

2:2  And I will send fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of the cities. And [2shall die 3in 4powerlessness 1Moab] with a sound and with a cry of a trumpet.

2:3  And I will utterly destroy the judge from out of her; and all her rulers I will kill with him, says the lord.

2:4  Thus says the lord, For the three impious deeds of the sons of Judah, even for the four, I will not turn away from it; Because of their thrusting away the law of the lord, and his orders they kept not, and [4caused them to wander 1their vain idols 2which 3they made], the ones which [2followed 1their fathers] after them.

2:5  And I will send out fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.

2:6  Thus says the lord, For the three impious deeds of Israel, even for the four, I will not turn away from. Because they rendered silver for the just, and the needy for sandals;

2:7  trampling upon the dust of the earth; and they smote for the head of the poor, and the way of the humble they turned aside. And a son and his father entered to the same maidservant, so that they should profane the name of their God.

2:8  And [2their garments 1binding] with rough cords, [2canopies 1they made] next to the altar; and wine of extortions they drank in the house of their God.

2:9  But I lifted away the Amorite from in front of them, as the height of cedar in his height, and he was strong as an oak; and I removed his fruit on top, and his roots beneath.

2:10  And I led you out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the wilderness forty years, to inherit the land of the Amorites.

2:11  And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for sanctification. [3not so 1Are 2these things], O sons of Israel, says the lord?

2:12  But you gave [2to drink 3for the ones 4having been sanctified 1wine]; and to the prophets you gave charge, saying, In no way prophesy!

2:13  On account of this, behold, I roll you underneath; in which manner [3rolls 1the 2wagon] being full of stubble.

2:14  And [2shall be destroyed 1flight into exile] from the runner; and the strong in no way should hold his strength; and the warrior in no way should deliver his soul;

2:15  and the bowman in no way should stand; and the keen of his feet in no way should be preserved; and the horseman in no way should have delivered his life,

2:16  and the strong in no way shall find his heart in might; the naked shall be pursued in that day, says the lord.
