Amos 2:5

Read in context

Amos 2:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 I will cut off the ruler of Moab and kill all the officials with him,” says the LORD.

4 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they reject the Law of the LORD and fail to keep His statutes; they are led astray by the lies in which their fathers walked.

5 So I will send fire upon Judah to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”

6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.

7 They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.
