Amos 2:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ They trample helpless people in the dust
    and shove the oppressed out of the way.
Both father and son sleep with the same woman,
    corrupting my holy name.
⁸ At their religious festivals,
    they lounge in clothing their debtors put up as security.
In the house of their gods,^[a]
    they drink wine bought with unjust fines.

⁹ “But as my people watched,
    I destroyed the Amorites,
though they were as tall as cedars
    and as strong as oaks.
I destroyed the fruit on their branches
    and dug out their roots.
