Amos 2:1-3

Judgment on Judah and Israel

^{Tools

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Moab and for four
I will not ^(a)revoke its punishment,
Because he ^(B)burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

“So I will send fire upon Moab
And it will consume the citadels of ^(C)Kerioth;
And Moab will die amid ^(D)tumult,
With ^(b)war cries and the sound of a trumpet.

“I will also cut off the ^(c)^(E)judge from her midst
And slay all her ^(F)princes with him,” says the Lord.
