Amos 2:5 in context

1. 3and I will cut off the judge from among them,
   and will kill all its princes with him,”
   says Yahweh.
2. 4Yahweh says:
   “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four,
   I will not turn away its punishment;
   because they have rejected Yahweh’s law,
   and have not kept his statutes,
   and their lies have led them astray,
   after which their fathers walked;
3. 5but I will send a fire on Judah,
   and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
4. 6Yahweh says:
   “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
   I will not turn away its punishment;
   because they have sold the righteous for silver,
   and the needy for a pair of sandals;
5. 7They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,
   and deny justice to the oppressed;
   and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
