Amos 2

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 2 of 9

1 So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.

2 And I will send a fire against Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth. And Moab shall die with uproar, with a call to arms, with the sound of the rams' horn.

3 And I will cut off he who judges from its midst, and I will kill all his rulers with him, says Jehovah.
