Amos

Amos 2:4–5

⁴This is what the LORD says:

“For three transgressions of Judah, even four,

I will not revoke My judgment,

because they reject the Law of the LORD

and fail to keep His statutes;

they are led astray by the lies

in which their fathers walked.

⁵So I will send fire upon Judah

to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
