I will not relent from punishing Judah

The lies that their ancestors followed

have led them astray.

They trample the heads of the poor

A man and his father have sexual relations

with the same girl,

profaning my holy name.

They stretch out beside every altar

on garments taken as collateral,

and in the house of their God

they drink wine obtained through fines.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 2:9 -

in order to possess the land of the Amorite.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

and commanded the prophets,

“Do not prophesy.”

as a wagon crushes when full of grain.

Escape will fail the swift,

the strong one will not maintain his strength,

and the warrior will not save his life.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 2:15 -

The archer will not stand his ground,

the one who is swift of foot

will not save himself,

and the one riding a horse will not save his life.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 2:16 -

Even the most courageous of the warriors

will flee naked on that day —

this is the LORD’s declaration.
