Amos 2:6 in Context — Amos 2
4 Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Judá, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo] ; porque rejeitaram a lei do SENHOR, e não guardaram seus estatutos; e foram enganados por suas mentiras, as quais seus pais seguiam.
5 Por isso meterei fogo em Judá, que consumirá os palácios de Jerusalém.
6 Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Israel, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo] ; porque vendem o justo em troca de dinheiro, e o pobre por um par de sapatos;
7 Eles pisam a cabeça dos pobres no pó da terra, e distorcem o caminho dos humildes; um homem e seu pai vão a uma [mesma] moça, para profanarem o meu santo nome.
8 E se deitam junto a qualquer altar com roupas tomadas em penhor, e bebem vinho tomado como multa da casa de seus deuses.
