Amos 2:6-8

Judgment on Israel


6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of aIsrael, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they bsell the righteous for
Lit silver
money,
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 “These who
Or pant for the dust...on the head of the helpless
trample the head of the ehelpless to the dust of the earth
Also fdivert the way of the humble;
And a gman and his father
Lit go
resort to the same
Possibly a prostitute, or a temple prostitute
girl
So as to profane My holy name.
8 “And on garments jseized as pledges they stretch out beside kevery altar,
And in the house of their God they ldrink the wine of those who have been fined.
