Amos 2:5-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. Now I will send fire on Judahand destroy the fortressesof Jerusalem.

6. The Lord said:I will punish Israelfor countless crimes,and I won't change my mind.They sell honest people for money,and the needy are soldfor the price of sandals.

7. They throw the poor to the groundand push asidethose who are helpless.My holy name is dishonoured,because fathers and sons sleepwith the same young women.

8. They lie down beside altarson clothes takenas security for loans.And they drink wine in my temple,wine bought with the moneythey received from fines.
