New King James Version
Amos 2
1 Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. 2 With shouting and trumpet sound. 3 Says the Lord. 4 Lies which their fathers followed. 5 And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.” 6 And the poor for a pair of sandals. 7 To defile My holy name. 8 And drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. 9 And his roots beneath. 10 To possess the land of the Amorite. 11 Says the Lord. 12 ‘Do not prophesy!’ 13 As a cart full of sheaves is weighed down. 14 Nor shall the mighty deliver himself; 15 Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself. 16 Says the Lord.
