AMOS
Chapter 2
Amos | RNKJV | 2:1 | Thus saith יהוה; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:2 | But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet: | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:3 | And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith יהוה. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:4 | Thus saith יהוה; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of יהוה, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:6 | Thus saith יהוה; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:7 | That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name: | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:8 | And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their elohim. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:9 | Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:10 | Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:11 | And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith יהוה. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:12 | But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:14 | Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: | |
Amos | RNKJV | 2:15 | Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself. | |
