Amos 2:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Now I will send fire on Judah
and destroy the fortresses
    of Jerusalem.

I will punish Israel
for countless crimes,
    and I won't change my mind.
They sell honest people for money,
and the needy are sold
    for the price of sandals.
⁷ They smear the poor in the dirt
and push aside
    those who are helpless.
