Amos 2:6-16

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>_;
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}
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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}
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>_.
And [he that is] courageous
<0533> <03820>
among the mighty
<01368>
shall flee away
<05127> (8799)
naked
<06174>
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}
