Amos 2:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
and all the princes I will slay with him, says the Lord.
Judah
4 [a]Thus says the Lord:
For three crimes of Judah, and now four—
I will not take it back—
Because they spurned the instruction of the Lord,(A)
and did not keep his statutes;
Because the lies[b] which their ancestors followed
have led them astray,
5 I will send fire upon Judah,
and it will devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.
