TSK · Amos 2:4

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.

¶ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

¶ And when her sister Aholibah saw [this], she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in [her] whoredoms.

Therefore [will] I [be] unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
