Amos 2:6-8

6 Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of ^aIsrael and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they ^bsell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 “These who ^{▼▼ Or trample or, snap at the head of the helpless on the dust}pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the ^dhelpless
Also ^eturn aside the way of the humble;
And a ^fman and his father ^{▼▼ Lit go}resort to the same ^{▼▼ Possibly a harlot, or a temple prostitute}girl
In order to profane My holy name.
8 “On garments ⁱtaken as pledges they stretch out beside ^jevery altar,
And in the house of their God they ^kdrink the wine of those who have been fined.
