Amos 2:7-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
7
These who trample the head of the helpless to the dust of the earth
Also divert the way of the humble;
And a man and his father resort to the
same
girl
So as to profane My holy name.
8
And on garments seized as pledges they stretch out beside every altar,
And
in
the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9
'Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
Though his height
was
like the height of cedars
And he
was as
strong as the oaks;
I also destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
10
And it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
And led you in the wilderness for forty years
So that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite.
11
Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets,
And some of your young men to be Nazirites.
Is this not so, you sons of Israel?' declares the
Lord
.
12
'But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
And you commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy!’
13
Behold, I am making a rut
in the ground
beneath you,
Just as a wagon makes a rut when filled with sheaves.
14
Refuge will be lost from the swift,
And the strong will not strengthen his power,
Nor the warrior save his life.
King James Version
Chapter 2
7
That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
8
And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9
Yet destroyed I 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 roots from beneath.
10
Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the
Lord
.
12
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
7
They trample the heads of the poor
on the dust of the ground
and obstruct the path of the needy.
A man and his father have sexual relations
with the same girl,
profaning my holy name.
8
They stretch out beside every altar
on garments taken as collateral,
and in the house of their God
they drink wine obtained through fines.
9
Yet I destroyed the Amorite as Israel advanced;
his height was like the cedars,
and he was as sturdy as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.
10
And I brought you from the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness
in order to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
I raised up some of your sons as prophets
and some of your young men as Nazirites.
Is this not the case, Israelites?
This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
12
But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets,
"Do not prophesy."
13
Look, I am about to crush you in your place
as a wagon crushes when full of grain.
14
Escape will fail the swift,
the strong one will not maintain his strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
7
They trample helpless people in the dust
and shove the oppressed out of the way.
Both father and son sleep with the same woman,
corrupting my holy name.
8
At their religious festivals,
they lounge in clothing their debtors put up as security.
In the house of their gods,
they drink wine bought with unjust fines.
9
'But as my people watched,
I destroyed the Amorites,
though they were as tall as cedars
and as strong as oaks.
I destroyed the fruit on their branches
and dug out their roots.
10
It was I who rescued you from Egypt
and led you through the desert for forty years,
so you could possess the land of the Amorites.
11
I chose some of your sons to be prophets
and others to be Nazirites.
Can you deny this, my people of Israel?'
asks the
Lord
.
12
'But you caused the Nazirites to sin by making them drink wine,
and you commanded the prophets, ‘Shut up!’
13
'So I will make you groan
like a wagon loaded down with sheaves of grain.
14
Your fastest runners will not get away.
The strongest among you will become weak.
Even mighty warriors will be unable to save themselves.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
7
those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and turn aside the way of the afflicted;
a man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8
they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
9
"Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
10
Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for Nazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" declares the
Lord
.
12
"But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’
13
"Behold, I will press you down in your place,
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14
Flight shall perish from the swift,
and the strong shall not retain his strength,
nor shall the mighty save his life;
New International Version
Chapter 2
7
They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.
8
They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.
In the house of their god
they drink wine taken as fines.
9
"Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them,
though they were tall as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.
I destroyed their fruit above
and their roots below.
10
I brought you up out of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness
to give you the land of the Amorites.
11
"I also raised up prophets from among your children
and Nazirites from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?"
declares the
Lord
.
12
"But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13
"Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.
14
The swift will not escape,
the strong will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
7
They pant after the dust of the earth
which is
on the head of the poor,
And pervert the way of the humble.
A man and his father go in to the
same
girl,
To defile My holy name.
8
They lie down by every altar on clothes taken in pledge,
And drink the wine of the condemned
in
the house of their god.
9
“Yet
it was
I
who
destroyed the Amorite before them,
Whose height
was
like the height of the cedars,
And he
was as
strong as the oaks;
Yet I destroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
10
Also
it was
I
who
brought you up from the land of Egypt,
And led you forty years through the wilderness,
To possess the land of the Amorite.
11
I raised up some of your sons as prophets,
And some of your young men as Nazirites.
Is it
not so, O you children of Israel?”
Says the
Lord
.
12
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
And commanded the prophets saying,
‘Do not prophesy!’
13
“Behold, I am weighed down by you,
As a cart full of sheaves is weighed down.
14
Therefore flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;
