Amos 2:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 This is what the LORD says: "Because Moab has committed three crimes� make that four!� I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They burned the bones of Edom's king into lime.
2 So I will set Moab on fire, and it will consume Kerioth's fortresses. Moab will perish in the heat of battle amid war cries and the blaring of the ram's horn.
3 I will remove Moab's leader; I will kill all Moab's officials with him." The LORD has spoken!
4 This is what the LORD says: "Because Judah has committed three covenant transgressions� make that four!� I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They rejected the LORD's law; they did not obey his commands. Their false gods, to which their fathers were loyal, led them astray.
5 So I will set Judah on fire, and it will consume Jerusalem's fortresses."
6 This is what the LORD says: "Because Israel has committed three covenant transgressions� make that four!� I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They sold the innocent for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor; they push the destitute away. A man and his father go to the same girl; in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.
8 They stretch out on clothing seized as collateral; they do so right beside every altar! They drink wine bought with the fines they have levied; they do so right in the temple of their God!
9 For Israel's sake I destroyed the Amorites. They were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks, but I destroyed the fruit on their branches and their roots in the ground.
10 I brought you up from the land of Egypt; I led you through the wilderness for forty years so you could take the Amorites' land as your own.
11 I made some of your sons prophets and some of your young men Nazirites. Is this not true, you Israelites?" The LORD is speaking!
12 "But you made the Nazirites drink wine; you commanded the prophets, 'Do not prophesy!'
13 Look! I will press you down, like a cart loaded down with grain presses down.
14 Fast runners will find no place to hide; strong men will have no strength left; warriors will not be able to save their lives.
15 Archers will not hold their ground; fast runners will not save their lives, nor will those who ride horses.
16 Bravehearted warriors will run away naked in that day." The LORD is speaking!
1 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 For H5921 three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Moab, H4124 and for H5921 four, H702 I will not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because H5921 he burned H8313 the bones H6106 of the king H4428 of Edom H123 into lime: H7875
2 But I will send H7971 a fire H784 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 and with the sound H6963 of the trumpet: H7782
3 And I will cut off H3772 the judge H8199 from the midst H4480 H7130 thereof , and will slay H2026 all H3605 the princes H8269 thereof with H5973 him, saith H559 the LORD. H3068
4 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 For H5921 three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Judah, H3063 and for H5921 four, H702 I will not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because H5921 they have despised H3988 H853 the law H8451 of the LORD, H3068 and have not H3808 kept H8104 his commandments, H2706 and their lies H3577 caused them to err, H8582 after H310 the which H834 their fathers H1 have walked: H1980
5 But I will send H7971 a fire H784 upon Judah, H3063 and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 of Jerusalem. H3389
6 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 For H5921 three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Israel, H3478 and for H5921 four, H702 I will not H3808 turn away H7725 the punishment thereof; because H5921 they sold H4376 the righteous H6662 for silver, H3701 and the poor H34 for H5668 a pair of shoes; H5275
7 That pant H7602 after H5921 the dust H6083 of the earth H776 on the head H7218 of the poor, H1800 and turn aside H5186 the way H1870 of the meek: H6035 and a man H376 and his father H1 will go in H1980 unto H413 the same maid, H5291 to H4616 profane H2490 H853 my holy H6944 name: H8034
8 And they lay themselves down H5186 upon H5921 clothes H899 laid to pledge H2254 by H681 every H3605 altar, H4196 and they drink H8354 the wine H3196 of the condemned H6064 in the house H1004 of their god. H430
9 Yet destroyed H8045 I H595 H853 the Amorite H567 before H4480 H6440 them, whose H834 height H1363 was like the height H1363 of the cedars, H730 and he H1931 was strong H2634 as the oaks; H437 yet I destroyed H8045 his fruit H6529 from above H4480 H4605 , and his roots H8328 from beneath H4480 H8478 .
10 Also I H595 brought you up H5927 H853 from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt, H4714 and led H1980 you forty H705 years H8141 through the wilderness, H4057 to possess H3423 H853 the land H776 of the Amorite. H567
11 And I raised up H6965 of your sons H4480 H1121 for prophets, H5030 and of your young men H4480 H970 for Nazarites. H5139 Is it not H369 even H637 thus, H2063 O ye children H1121 of Israel H3478 ? saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
12 But ye gave H853 the Nazarites H5139 wine H3196 to drink; H8248 and commanded H6680 the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 Prophesy H5012 not. H3808
13 Behold H2009 , I H595 am pressed H5781 under H8478 you, as H834 a cart H5699 is pressed H5781 that is full of H4392 sheaves. H5995
14 Therefore the flight H4498 shall perish H6 from the swift H4480 H7031 , and the strong H2389 shall not H3808 strengthen H553 his force, H3581 neither H3808 shall the mighty H1368 deliver H4422 himself: H5315
15 Neither H3808 shall he stand H5975 that handleth H8610 the bow; H7198 and he that is swift H7031 of foot H7272 shall not H3808 deliver H4422 himself : neither H3808 shall he that rideth H7392 the horse H5483 deliver H4422 himself. H5315
16 And he that is courageous H533 H3820 among the mighty H1368 shall flee away H5127 naked H6174 in that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
