Amos 2:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ ‘They gape over the head of the poor, in the dust of the Earth, and pervert the ways of the meek. And a man and his father will go in to a maid, to dishonor My Holy Name.

⁸ ‘And they lie down by every altar, upon pledged clothes. And they drink the wine of the condemned in the House of their God.

⁹ ‘Yet I destroyed 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 root from beneath.
