Amos 2:7-11 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

7. They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,and deny justice to the oppressed;and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

8. and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge;and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

9. Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,whose height was like the height of the cedars,and he was strong as the oaks;yet I destroyed his fruit from above,and his roots from beneath.

10. Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,and led you forty years in the wilderness,to possess the land of the Amorite.

11. I raised up some of your sons for prophets,and some of your young men for Nazirites.Isn’t this true,you children of Israel?” says the Lord.
