Amos 2:7-9
International Standard Version
7 moving quickly[a] to rub the face[b] of the needy in the dirt.
Corrupting[c] the ways of the humble,
a man and his father go to the same woman,
deliberately defiling my holy name.
8 They lay down beside every altar,
on garments pledged as collateral,[d]
drinking wine paid for through fines
imposed by the temple of their gods.
9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorites in front of them,
though their height seemed like a cedar,[e]
though their strength seemed like an oak,
but whose fruit I destroyed from above
and the roots from beneath.
