Amos 2:8 in Context — Amos 2
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.
9 Eu, pelo contrário, destruí diante deles os amorreus, cuja altura era como a altura dos cedros, e eram fortes como carvalhos; e destruí seu fruto acima, e suas raízes abaixo.
10 Também vos fiz a vós subir da terra do Egito, e por quarenta anos vos conduzi pelo deserto, para que possuísseis a terra dos amorreus.
