Amos 2:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible

6 Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of (A)Israel and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they (B)sell the righteous for money
And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 These who [a]pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the (C)poor
Also (D)turn aside the way of the humble;
And a (E)man and his father go to the same [b]young woman
In order to profane My holy name.
8 On garments (F)taken as pledges they stretch out beside (G)every altar,
And in the house of their God they (H)drink the wine of those who have been fined.
