Amos 2:8

Context

2:8 They stretch out on clothing seized as collateral;

they do so right 1  beside every altar!

They drink wine bought with the fines they have levied;

they do so right in the temple 2  of their God! 3 

1 tn The words “They do so right” are supplied twice in the translation of this verse for clarification.

2 tn Heb “house.”

3 tn Or “gods.” The Hebrew term אֱלֹהֵיהֶם (’elohehem) may be translated “their gods” (referring to pagan gods), “their god” (referring to a pagan god, cf. NAB, NIV, NLT), or “their God” (referring to the God of Israel, cf. NASB, NRSV).
