Amos 2:4

Judgment On Judah

³ And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it, and will slay all its princes with him, saith the LORD. ⁴ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment: because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked: ⁵ But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
