Amos 2:6-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. Thus said יהוה, “For three transgressions of Yisra’ĕl, and for four, I do not turn it back, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals,

7. who crush the head of the poor ones in the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father go in to the same girl, to defile My set-apart Name.

8. “And they lie down by every altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their mighty one they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

9. “Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars. And he was as strong as the oaks, yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.
