Amos 2:1-15

2:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because he burned
<08313> (8800)

the bones
<06106>

of the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

into lime
<07875>_:

2:2

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Moab
<04124>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Kerioth
<07152>_:

and Moab
<04124>

shall die
<04191> (8804)

with tumult
<07588>_,

with shouting
<08643>_,

[and] with the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_:

2:3

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the judge
<08199> (8802)

from the midst
<07130>

thereof, and will slay
<02026> (8799)

all the princes
<08269>

thereof with him, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have despised
<03988> (8800)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not kept
<08104> (8804)

his commandments
<02706>_,

and their lies
<03577>

caused them to err
<08582> (8686)_,

after
<0310>

the which their fathers
<01>

have walked
<01980> (8804)_:

2:5

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Judah
<03063>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

2:6

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they sold
<04376> (8800)

the righteous
<06662>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the poor
<034>

for a pair of shoes
<05275>_;

2:7

That pant
<07602> (8802)

after the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>

on the head
<07218>

of the poor
<01800>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the way
<01870>

of the meek
<06035>_:

and a man
<0376>

and his father
<01>

will go
<03212> (8799)

in unto the [same] maid
<05291>_,

to profane
<02490> (8763)

my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_:

{maid: or, young woman}

2:8

And they lay [themselves] down
<05186> (8686)

upon clothes
<0899>

laid to pledge
<02254> (8803)

by
<0681>

every altar
<04196>_,

and they drink
<08354> (8799)

the wine
<03196>

of the condemned
<06064> (8803)

[in] the house
<01004>

of their god
<0430>_.

{the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}

2:9

Yet destroyed
<08045> (8689)

I the Amorite
<0567>

before
<06440>

them, whose height
<01363>

[was] like the height
<01363>

of the cedars
<0730>_,

and he [was] strong
<02634>

as the oaks
<0437>_;

yet I destroyed
<08045> (8686)

his fruit
<06529>

from above
<04605>_,

and his roots
<08328>

from beneath.

2:10

Also I brought you up
<05927> (8689)

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and led
<03212> (8686)

you forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

through the wilderness
<04057>_,

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

of the Amorite
<0567>_.

2:11

And I raised up
<06965> (8686)

of your sons
<01121>

for prophets
<05030>_,

and of your young men
<0970>

for Nazarites
<05139>_.

[Is it] not even thus, O ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:12

But ye gave the Nazarites
<05139>

wine
<03196>

to drink
<08248> (8686)_;

and commanded
<06680> (8765)

the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not.

2:13

Behold, I am pressed
<05781> (8688)

under you, as a cart
<05699>

is pressed
<05781> (8686)

[that is] full
<04392>

of sheaves
<05995>_.

{I am...: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth}

2:14

Therefore the flight
<04498>

shall perish
<06> (8804)

from the swift
<07031>_,

and the strong
<02389>

shall not strengthen
<0553> (8762)

his force
<03581>_,

neither shall the mighty
<01368>

deliver
<04422> (8762)

himself
<05315>_:

{himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}

2:15

Neither shall he stand
<05975> (8799)

that handleth
<08610> (8802)

the bow
<07198>_;

and [he that is] swift
<07031>

of foot
<07272>

shall not deliver
<04422> (8762)

[himself]: neither shall he that rideth
<07392> (8802)

the horse
<05483>

deliver
<04422> (8762)

himself
<05315>_.
