Amos 2:3 Context
1Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for foure, I wil not turne away the punishment thereof, because hee burnt the bones of the King of Edom into lime. 2But I will send a fire vpon Moab, and it shall deuoure 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 iudge from the middest thereof, and wil slay all the princes thereof with him, sayeth the Lord. 4¶ Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Iudah, and for foure, I will not turne away the punishment thereof; because they haue despised the Law of the Lord, and haue not kept his Commandements, and their lies caused them to erre, after the which their fathers haue walked. 5But I will send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.
