Amos 2:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 So I will send a fire on Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.(A)
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals—(B)
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same young woman,
so that my holy name is profaned;(C)

New International Version
Judgment on Israel
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not relent.(D)
They sell the innocent for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.(E)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.(F)
