Amos 2:4-8

Amos 2:4-8

[4] Thus saith  For three  transgressions  of Judah,  and for four,  I will not turn away  the punishment thereof; because they have despised  the law  and have not kept  his commandments,  and their lies  caused them to err,  after  the which their fathers  have walked:  [5] But I will send  a fire  upon Judah,  and it shall devour  the palaces  of Jerusalem.  [6] Thus saith  the LORD;  For three  transgressions  of Israel,  and for four,  I will not turn away  the punishment thereof; because they sold  the righteous  for silver,  and the poor  for a pair of shoes;  [7] That pant  after the dust  of the earth  on the head  of the poor,  and turn aside  the way  of the meek:  and a man  and his father  in unto the same maid,  to profane  my holy  name:  [8] And they lay themselves down  upon clothes  laid to pledge  by  every altar,  and they drink  the wine  of the condemned  in the house  of their god.
