Amos 2:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ At every place of worship people sleep on clothing that they have taken from the poor as security for debts. In the temple of their God they drink wine which they have taken from those who owe them money.

^9 (A)“And yet, my people, it was for your sake that I totally destroyed the Amorites, who were as tall as cedar trees and as strong as oaks. ¹⁰ I brought you out of Egypt, led you through the desert for forty years, and gave you the land of the Amorites to be your own.
