4 Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: AKJV — Amos 2:4

5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. AKJV — Amos 2:5

6 Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; AKJV — Amos 2:6

13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. AKJV — Amos 2:13

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: AKJV — Amos 2:14

15 Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself. AKJV — Amos 2:15

16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, said the LORD. AKJV — Amos 2:16
