Amos 2:8 in Context — Amos 2
6 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: A cause de trois crimes d’Israël, Même de quatre, je ne révoque pas mon arrêt, Parce qu’ils ont vendu le juste pour de l’argent, Et le pauvre pour une paire de souliers.
7 Ils aspirent à voir la poussière de la terre sur la tête des misérables, Et ils violent le droit des malheureux. Le fils et le père vont vers la même fille, Afin de profaner mon saint nom.
8 Ils s’étendent près de chaque autel sur des vêtements pris en gage, Et ils boivent dans la maison de leurs dieux le vin de ceux qu’ils condamnent.
9 Et pourtant j’ai détruit devant eux les Amoréens, Dont la hauteur égalait celle des cèdres, Et la force celle des chênes; J’ai détruit leurs fruits en haut, Et leurs racines en bas.
10 Et pourtant je vous ai fait monter du pays d’Égypte, Et je vous ai conduits quarante ans dans le désert, Pour vous mettre en possession du pays des Amoréens.
