Amos 2:2-8 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

2. I will send fire on Moabthat will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.Moab will go down in great tumultamid war cries and the blast of the trumpet.

3. I will destroy her rulerand kill all her officials with him,’says the Lord.

4. This is what the Lord says:‘For three sins of Judah,even for four, I will not relent.Because they have rejected the law of the Lordand have not kept his decrees,because they have been led astray by false gods,the gods their ancestors followed,

5. I will send fire on Judahthat will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.’

6. This is what the Lord says:‘For three sins of Israel,even for four, I will not relent.They sell the innocent for silver,and the needy for a pair of sandals.

7. They trample on the heads of the pooras on the dust of the groundand deny justice to the oppressed.Father and son use the same girland so profane my holy name.

8. They lie down beside every altaron garments taken in pledge.In the house of their godthey drink wine taken as fines.
