Amos 2:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Now I will send fire to destroy
    the fortresses of Kerioth.[a]
Battle shouts and trumpet blasts
will be heard as I destroy Moab
3     with its king and leaders.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

Judgment on Judah

4 The Lord said:

I will punish Judah
for countless crimes,
    and I won't change my mind.
They have rejected my teachings
    and refused to obey me.
They were led astray
by the same false gods
    their ancestors worshiped.
