Amo 2
1 The Word against Moab
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.
2And 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.
3And I will utterly destroy
the judge from out of her; and all her rulers I will kill with him, says
the LORD.
4 The Word against Judah
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.
5And I will send out fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
6 The Word against Israel
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;
7trampling 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.
8And [
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.
9But 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.
10And 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.
11And 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?
12But you gave [
2to drink
3for the ones
4having been sanctified
1wine]; and to the prophets you gave charge, saying, In no way prophesy!
13On account of this, behold, I roll you underneath; in which manner [
3rolls
1the
2wagon] being full of stubble.
14And [
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;
15and 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,
16and the strong in no way shall find his heart in might; the naked shall be pursued in that day, says
the LORD.
