Amos 2:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 So I will send a fire on Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.(A)
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals—(B)
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same young woman,
so that my holy name is profaned;(C)
