Amos 2:4

Judgment On Judah

³ I will destroy her ruler and government officials along with him, said Jehovah. ⁴ Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Judah and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they rejected the law of the Lord
And have not kept His statutes;
Their lies also have led them astray,
Those after which their fathers walked.
⁵ I will send fire upon Judah and it will devour the fortified buildings of Jerusalem.
