Amos 2 — TOJB

2Verse 1Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Moav,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because he burned the bones
of Melech Edom into lime;
^{Verse 2}But I will send an eish upon Moav,
and it shall devour the fortresses of Keriyot;
and Moav shall die with tumult,
with war cries, and with the blast of the shofar;
^{Verse 3}And I will cut off the shofet (judge) from the midst thereof,
and will slay all the sarim (princes) thereof with him,
saith Hashem.^{Verse 4}Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Yehudah,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they have despised the torat Hashem,
and have not been shomer over His chukkim,
and their lies caused them to err,
after the halakhah of their avot;
^{Verse 5}But I will send an eish upon Yehudah,
and it shall devour the fortresses of Yerushalayim.^{Verse 6}Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Yisroel,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they sold the tzaddik for kesef,
and the needy for a pair of sandals;
^{Verse 7}They who trample on the dust of the ground which is on the rosh of the poor,
and turn aside the derech of the anavim;
and an ish and his av will go in unto the same na'arah,
to commit chillul Hashem against My Shem kodesh;
^{Verse 8}And they lay themselves down
upon clothes taken in pledge by every mizbe'ach,
and they guzzle the yayin
of the fined in the Beis Eloheichem.^{Verse 9}Yet destroyed I HaEmori before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was strong as the oaks;
yet I destroyed his p'ri from above,
and his shorashim from beneath.
^{Verse 10}Also I brought you up from Eretz Mitzrayim,
and led you arba'im shanah through the midbar,
to possess the Eretz HaEmori (land of the Amorite).
^{Verse 11}And I raised up of your banim for nevi'im,
and of your bochurim for Nezirim.
Is it not even thus, O ye Bnei Yisroel?
saith Hashem.^{Verse 12}But ye gave the Nezirim yayin to drink;
and commanded the nevi'im, saying:
Prophesy not.^{Verse 13}Hinei, I am weighed down by you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
^{Verse 14}Therefore flight shall perish from the swift,
and the chazak shall not strengthen his ko'ach,
neither shall the gibbor deliver his own nefesh;
^{Verse 15}Neither shall he stand that handleth the keshet;
and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver his own nefesh;
neither shall he that rideth the sus deliver himself.
^{Verse 16}And he that is courageous among the gibborim
shall flee away naked in that Yom,
saith Hashem.
