Amos 2:7-9
English Standard Version
7 those who trample the head of the poor (A)into the dust of the earth
and (B)turn aside the way of the afflicted;
(C)a man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments (D)taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
9 “Yet (E)it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
(F)whose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
(G)I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
Amos 2:7-9
New International Version
Amos 2:7-9
King James Version
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
