Amos 2 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
3 I will cut off the ruler from its midst, and will slay all its princes with him," says the LORD.
4 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked.
5 So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem."
6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes --
7 they that trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same maiden, so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar upon garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God 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 who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" says the LORD.
12 "But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, `You shall not prophesy.'
13 "Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," says the LORD.
1 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; For H5921 PREP three H7969 NFS transgressions H6588 of Moab H4124 , and for H5921 PREP four H702 MMS , I will not H3808 NADV turn away H7725 the punishment thereof ; because H5921 PREP he burned H8313 the bones H6106 of the king H4428 NMS of Edom H123 into lime H7875 :
2 But I will send H7971 a fire H784 CMS upon Moab H4124 , and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Kerioth H7152 : and Moab H4124 shall die H4191 with tumult H7588 , with shouting H8643 B-NFS , and with the sound H6963 B-NMS of the trumpet H7782 NMS :
3 And I will cut off H3772 the judge H8199 from the midst H7130 thereof , and will slay H2026 all H3605 W-CMS the princes H8269 thereof with H5973 PREP-3MS him , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .

5 But I will send H7971 a fire H784 CMS upon Judah H3063 , and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Jerusalem H3389 .
6 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; For H5921 PREP three H7969 NFS transgressions H6588 of Israel H3478 , and for H5921 PREP four H702 MMS , I will not H3808 NADV turn away H7725 the punishment thereof ; because H5921 PREP they sold H4376 the righteous H6662 AMS for silver H3701 BD-NMS , and the poor H34 W-AMS for H5668 B-NMS a pair of shoes H5275 ;
7 That pant H7602 after H5921 PREP the dust H6083 CMS of the earth H776 GFS on the head H7218 B-NMS of the poor H1800 JMP , and turn aside H5186 VHY3MP the way H1870 W-NMS of the meek H6035 : and a man H376 W-NMS and his father H1 will go in H1980 unto H413 PREP the same maid H5291 , to H4616 L-CONJ profane H2490 my holy H6944 name H8034 CMS :
8 And they lay themselves down H5186 VHY3MP upon H5921 W-PREP clothes H899 laid to pledge H2254 by H681 every H3605 NMS altar H4196 NMS , and they drink H8354 the wine H3196 W-CMS of the condemned H6064 in the house H1004 CMS of their god H430 .
9 Yet destroyed H8045 I H595 W-PPRO-1MS the Amorite H567 before H6440 M-CMP-3MP them , whose H834 RPRO height H1363 was like the height H1363 of the cedars H730 , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS was strong H2634 as the oaks H437 ; yet I destroyed H8045 his fruit H6529 NMS-3MS from above H4605 , and his roots H8328 from beneath H8478 .
10 Also I H595 W-PPRO-1MS brought you up H5927 from the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 , and led H1980 you forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS through the wilderness H4057 , to possess H3423 the land H776 GFS of the Amorite H567 .
11 And I raised up H6965 of your sons H1121 for prophets H5030 , and of your young men H970 for Nazarites H5139 . Is it not H369 ADV even H637 CONJ thus H2063 DPRO , O ye children H1121 of Israel H3478 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
12 But ye gave the Nazarites H5139 wine H3196 to drink H8248 ; and commanded H6680 the prophets H5030 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Prophesy H5012 not H3808 NADV .
13 Behold H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS am pressed H5781 under H8478 you , as H834 K-RPRO a cart H5699 is pressed H5781 that is full of H4392 sheaves H5995 .
14 Therefore the flight H4498 shall perish H6 from the swift H7031 , and the strong H2389 shall not H3808 NADV strengthen H553 his force H3581 CMS-3MS , neither H3808 NADV shall the mighty H1368 deliver H4422 himself H5315 CFS-3MS :
15 Neither H3808 NADV shall he stand H5975 VQY3MS that handleth H8610 the bow H7198 D-NFS ; and he that is swift H7031 of foot H7272 B-CFD-3MS shall not H3808 NADV deliver H4422 himself : neither H3808 NADV shall he that rideth H7392 the horse H5483 deliver H4422 himself H5315 CFS-3MS .
