Amos 2:7-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. They who pant after the dust of the ground on the rosh of the poor, and turn aside the derech of the anavim; and an ish and his av will go in unto the same na'arah, to commit chillul Hashem against My Shem kodesh;

8. And they lay themselves down upon clothes taken in pledge by every mizbe'ach, and they guzzle the yayin of the fined in the Beis Eloheichem.

9. Yet destroyed I HaEmori before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his p'ri from above, and his shorashim from beneath.

10. Also I brought you up from Eretz Mitzrayim, and led you arba'im shanah through the midbar, to possess the Eretz HaEmori (land of the Amorite).

11. And I raised up of your banim for nevi'im, and of your bochurim for Nezirim. Is it not even thus, O ye Bnei Yisroel? saith Hashem.

12. But ye gave the Nezirim yayin to drink; and commanded the nevi'im, saying, Prophesy not.

13. Hinei, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
