Amos 2

Gen Z: Amos 2

1Yo, the Lord's like, "For three strikes of Moab and four, I ain't letting them slide; they burned the king of Edom's bones into lime, no cap."

2But I'm sending fire on Moab, and it's gonna light up Kerioth's palaces; Moab's gonna go down with all the chaos, screaming, and trumpet vibes.

3I'm cutting off the judge from among them and taking out all their princes, says the Lord.

4The Lord's like, "For three strikes of Judah and four, I ain't letting it slide; they dissed my law and ignored my commandments, and their lies got them lost, just like their ancestors."

5But I'm sending fire on Judah, and it's gonna devour Jerusalem's palaces, fr.

6The Lord's like, "For three strikes of Israel and four, I ain't letting it slide; they sold the good people for silver and the poor for some kicks."

7They’re all about that dust on the poor’s heads, turning away from the humble; a dude and his dad are even going after the same girl, just disrespecting my name.

8They crash on clothes pledged at every altar and sip the wine of the condemned in their god's house, savage.

9I wiped out the Amorite before them; he was tall like cedars and strong like oaks, but I took out his fruit from above and roots from below, periodt.

10Plus, I brought you up from Egypt and led you through the desert for forty years to claim the Amorite land, no cap.

11I raised your sons as prophets and your young men as Nazarites. Is that not real, O children of Israel? says the Lord.

12But you gave the Nazarites wine to sip and told the prophets, "Don't prophesy," that's sus.

13Check it, I'm feeling crushed under you like a cart full of sheaves, fr.

14So the fast ones will be outta luck, and the strong won't flex their power; the mighty can't save themselves.

15The bowman won't stand, and the swift won't escape; even the horse riders can't save themselves, no cap.

16And the brave among the mighty will run away naked that day, says the Lord.

KJV: Amos 2

1Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

2But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

3And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.

4Thus saith 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:

5But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

6Thus saith 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;

7That 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:

8And 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.

9Yet 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.

10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

12But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

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

15Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

16And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
