Amos 2:6

God Will Judge Israel

“Because Israel has committed three covenant transgressions –

make that four! – I will not revoke my decree of judgment.

They sold the innocent for silver,

the needy for a pair of sandals.

nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.

his mind plans out sinful deeds.

He commits godless deeds

he dreams up evil plans

to ruin the poor with lies,

even when the needy are in the right.
