Amos 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message: "Because of the three great sins of Moab - make that four - I'm not putting up with her any longer. She violated the corpse of Edom's king, burning it to cinders.

2 For that, I'm burning down Moab, burning down the forts of Kerioth. Moab will die in the shouting, go out in the blare of war trumpets.

3 I'll remove the king from the center and kill all his princes with him."

4 God's Message: "Because of the three great sins of Judah - make that four - I'm not putting up with them any longer. They rejected God's revelation, refused to keep my commands. But they swallowed the same old lies that got their ancestors onto dead-end roads.

5 For that, I'm burning down Judah, burning down all the forts of Jerusalem." Destroyed from the Roots Up

6 God's Message: "Because of the three great sins of Israel - make that four - I'm not putting up with them any longer. They buy and sell upstanding people. People for them are only things - ways of making money. They'd sell a poor man for a pair of shoes. They'd sell their own grandmother!

7 They grind the penniless into the dirt, shove the luckless into the ditch. Everyone and his brother sleeps with the 'sacred whore' - a sacrilege against my Holy Name.

8 Stuff they've extorted from the poor is piled up at the shrine of their god, While they sit around drinking wine they've conned from their victims.

9 "In contrast, I was always on your side. I destroyed the Amorites who confronted you, Amorites with the stature of great cedars, tough as thick oaks. I destroyed them from the top branches down. I destroyed them from the roots up.

10 And yes, I'm the One who delivered you from Egypt, led you safely through the wilderness for forty years And then handed you the country of the Amorites like a piece of cake on a platter.

11 I raised up some of your young men to be prophets, set aside your best youth for training in holiness. Isn't this so, Israel?" God's Decree.

12 "But you made the youth-in-training break training, and you told the young prophets, 'Don't prophesy!'

13 You're too much for me. I'm hard-pressed - to the breaking point. I'm like a wagon piled high and overloaded, creaking and groaning.

14 "When I go into action, what will you do? There's no place to run no matter how fast you run. The strength of the strong won't count. Fighters won't make it.

15 Skilled archers won't make it. Fast runners won't make it. Chariot drivers won't make it.

16 Even the bravest of all your warriors Won't make it. He'll run off for dear life, stripped naked." God's Decree.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem

2 et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae

3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus

4 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum

5 et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

6 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis

7 qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum

8 et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui

9 ego autem exterminavi Amorreum a facie eorum cuius altitudo cedrorum altitudo eius et fortis ipse quasi quercus et contrivi fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter

10 ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei

11 et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus

12 et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis

13 ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno

14 et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam

15 et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam

16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
