Amos 2:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ And I will cut off the ruler from its midst and will slay all its princes with him, says the Lord.

⁴ Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Judah and for four [for multiplied delinquencies], I will not reverse the punishment of it or revoke My word concerning it, because they have despised and rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept His commandments, but their lies, after which their fathers have walked, caused them to err and go astray.

⁵ So I will send a fire upon Judah and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.
