Amos 2:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, [a]I will not turn to it, because they have cast away the Law of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err after the which their fathers have walked.
5 Therefore will I send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 ¶ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of [b]Israel, and for four, I will not turn to it, because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for [c]shoes.
