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.
