Amos 2:4

Judgment On Judah

³ I will cut off the judge from the land
and kill all its officials with him.
The Lord has spoken. ⁴ The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Judah
for three crimes, even four,
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord
and have not kept His statutes.
The lies that their ancestors followed
have led them astray.
⁵ Therefore, I will send fire against Judah,
and it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem.
