Amos 2:1 - The Message

God’s Message:
"Because of the three great sins of Moab
   —make that four—I’m not putting up with her any longer.
She violated the corpse of Edom’s king,
   burning it to cinders.
For that, I’m burning down Moab,
   burning down the forts of Kerioth.
Moab will die in the shouting,
   go out in the blare of war trumpets.
I’ll remove the king from the center
   and kill all his princes with him."
      God’s Decree.
