AM-2:1 Thus saith the LORD; 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:

AM-2:2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the

palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with

shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:

AM-2:3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and

will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

AM-2:4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;

because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not

kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after

the which their fathers have walked:

AM-2:5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour

the palaces of Jerusalem.

AM-2:6 Thus saith the LORD; 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;

AM-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:

AM-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 god.

AM-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.

AM-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.

AM-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 the LORD.

AM-2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded

the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

AM-2:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed

[that is] full of sheaves.

AM-2:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and

the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the

mighty deliver himself:

AM-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.

AM-2:16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee

away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
